More ways to creating and managing Portable Document Format (PDF) files
After my last post about PDFs I received an email from Mike, the creator of http://carputers.net, and his blog at
http://newsandtips.carputers.net. I visiting his site and following some of his links, I was inspiration to make an additional post in regard to managing Portable Document Format (PDF) files.
In in the last post I mentioned a PDF maker named CutePDF Writer. Another PDF producer, doPDF, is much like CutePDF, and its also freeware. Unlike the latter, doPDF is a self-contained program, doesn?t require 3rd party software to create PDF files as CutePDFs requires an installation of Ghostwriter. Here is the link to doPDF: http://www.dopdf.com/
