Who Else Wants To Create PDF Files Within 5 Minutes?
If you have been struggling to create PDF files, then keep reading. I, once, wrote a post on how to increase subscribers. In that post, I mentioned about writing ebook and giving it as a gift to those who subscribe to your blog. You would have also seen Michael Martine very successful following that method. Though I don’t know who invented that method, it is something you have to do to increase your subscriber list.
Now as a blogger, you would have no trouble setting up content for your ebook. You can write new content or even bundle up your old posts in the form of continuous content and compile it as an ebook. So where does the problem lie? The problem arises when you want to create a PDF file. Not many people find it hard to create PDF files. But there are few people, especially newbies, who find it difficult to create PDF files. Those of you, who belong to the latter group, keep reading.
How to create PDF files easily?
1. First type the content in the word document
2. Save the word document
3. If you have Open Office, then you can easily create PDF file with their in-built option
4. If you have only old MS word version, don’t worry. Go to google and do a search for free pdf converters
5. The Word Doc to PDF converter that I use is PDF995. It is free and easy to download.
6. Once you have downloaded it, go the word document that you created
7. In the word document, click on File and then Print. You will have PDF995 as an option in the drop down list box.
8. Select it and then click OK.
Now you will be surprised to have a PDF file of the word document
Isn’t it easy? Ok, if you want this tutorial as an ebook so that you can read whenever you want, you can get it from here [Right Click and Save As]. I created the PDF file using PDF995.
So go ahead and create an ebook to give it to your subscribers. This will help you get more subscribers. Did you enjoy this tutorial?

Excellent tutorial, Ramkarthik. Creating a PDF need not be a technical or financial hurdle (Adobe Acrobat, the “official” PDF application, is expensive). I had been planning a post such as this on my own blog, so if you see it… don’t think I’m copying you!
I can suggest one more method for creating a PDF: use Google Docs. You can download your doc as a PDF and then upload to your server or to a file-hosting/sharing site so that others can then download it.

I would highly recommend PDFOnline - https://www.pdfonline.com/convert_pdf.asp.
They offer a service where you can upload documents (of just about any type) for free, and they email the PDF back to you. What I really like about this service is the fact that their PDF generation software creates extremely light and fast PDFs. They even beat Adobe at this
For professionals with $15, they offer the downloadable easyPDF SDK - which allows you to create those same lightweight PDFs right from your own computer.
Now I seriously need to stop thinking like a salesman … lol.

Michael, Yes Google Docs is a good tool too. And obviously I wouldn’t call you a copycat
Great that we both had same idea. Good luck with the post.
Wogan, I’ll check that program. Thanks for the comment.
