PDF+files+-+Convert+to

Teachers, Here is a link to a site I used yesterday to convert a Microsoft Publisher (with extension .pub) file that one of our teachers received into .pdf format that we could read. []

Microsoft Publisher is not used by our systems. There maybe other files that you receive from outside people in non-common format that you would like to convert to and read in .pdf format.

1) select the file you want to convert 2) give it a name 3) enter your email address for the site to send you the new .pdf file.
 * You just follow a 3 step process on that pdfonline site:**

PDF or Portable Document Format is a file format created by Adobe Systems in 1993 for document exchange. It represents a document in a manner independent of the application software, hardware, and operating system. The PDF file includes text, fonts, images and graphics as the creator intended the file to be viewed. However, one doesn't have to have the actual creation program to view the file. We recommend using PDF formats when you want to send files to others and do not know what software they use and also when you do not need the other party to edit your file (view only). Keep in mind that sometimes just including the text right in the email is best and would save the user on the other end time. It is also good to do that if you want to include dates that we could right-click on and be able to add to our iCal calendars....
 * What is pdf again?**

Remember that Preview is our .pdf viewer of choice. It is part of the operating system on our Macintosh computers. If you need to 'tell' the computer to open in Preview instead of something else, right click on the attachment and choose Preview.
