The project and software are informally referred to as OpenOffice; however,
OpenOffice.org is the formal name.

OpenOffice.org includes a word processor, a spreadsheet, a presentation and database similar to Microsoft Office (MSO).

OpenOffice.org allows file saving in formats that are compatible with MSO.

Additionally, OOo has many features that are compatible with MSO.

If you have not downloaded, installed and used OOo, you must do so.

This software is a perfect alternative to MSO and works seamlessly in creating PDF documents and eBooks.

05.Why are there so many different PDF Creators?

If you do a search on the Internet for 'PDF creation', 'PDF converters' or 'PDF Creators' on any search engine, you most likely will return hundreds of different software applications that execute this process.

A very concise list is located at:Wikipedia

You can begin with this information if you are unfamiliar and have not worked with variable PDF converters and creators.

I have found that whether I use a Freeware application or one I purchased, they all work much the same.

There are special features with many Free PDF creators that are not included until you purchase the Advanced version.

For example, the Free version PDF creator when not include security or active hypertext links; however, the advanced and paid for version does include these options.

Many full version PDF converter/creators require purchase.



EXCEPT for PDFCreator and
OpenOffice.org, you will find Full versions that are completely Free.

OpenOffice.org suite application is noted here for the reason that it provides a complete and excellent PDF exportation within its word processor, the Writer.

PDFCreator is a stand alone application that converts documents into PDF documentation with most features and options that are necessary for an average user.

Again, I make note of the following link where you can

learn more about PDF creators and converters.

PDFmoto is worth mentioning for it can automatically convert documents and publish them to the Internet. This software has a free version and a purchase version. You can learn more about PDFmoto at:

PDFmoto.com.

It is important when reviewing PDF creators that you pay close attention to the options of the freeware and paid for versions.

I recommend using OpenOffice.org applications Writer, Calc and Impress. Also, Math and Draw can be utilized.

The product is worthy and valuable and is very easy to export documents and files to PDF with variable security and options.

Additionally, there are many more options and features that make using this software suite a smart decision.

 


06.How difficult is it to create PDF documents?

Most of the application PDF creators and converters provide easy navigation to print your document, export, save or convert your material into PDF format.

Many PDF applications simply install a printer driver to your computer that functions as a virtual printer.

It is very easy to navigate to your PDF virtual printer and by simply clicking on save; you can then convert your document to PDF. Just as you would print any document, you would in the same way convert to PDF.

07.Do the PDF Creator Applications have security?

Many PDF Creators-Converters do have security. However, here I will discuss
PDFCreator as this is the FREE software application I suggest you use if you do not utilize OpenOffice.org Suite. Of course, you can still use PDFCreator for converting documents to PDF when using other applications such as Microsoft Word, etc.

If you write or create documents and presentations using OOo, you can export directly from this application.

However, when you use other type word processing and document creator applications, you can easily use PDFCreator to convert you files to PDF format.

You will quickly see that PDFCreator can provide most of your PDF document creation, if not all with or without using the security options.
