Create PDF Files the Easy Way

I ever mentioned about several ways of creating PDFs for free, either by standalone application or online conversion. Today, I'm going to teach you a very simple and fast way to create PDF using doPDF.

Why doPDF?
  • It's FREE for both personal and commercial use.
  • Light weight, only 1.42MB.
  • Able to convert Microsoft Excel, Word or PowerPoint documents or your emails and favorite web sites to PDF.


Creating a PDF using doPDF is as easy as ABC. Read on to find out how.
First, you will have to download doPDF which is only 1.42MB in size. After that, install doPDF. The first thing you will see choosing the languge you want during the installation process. You probably just need English, so click OK.



After that just cilck on Next.



Accept the agreement and click Next.



By default, the program will install in the Program Files under C Drive, click Next for the default setting. Or else click on Browse to choose your desire installation path.



Click Next to continue.



You may want to leave this box uncheck if you already have a default printer. Setting this as default printer will always create PDF files when you use the print function. Click Next to continue.



Choose other languages other than English if you want to.



Check the installation setting, if everything is okay, just click on the Install button.



Then let the installation process begin.



Then you're done. Click Finish to end the process.



Okay, say we want to convert a Microsoft Word (.doc) file into PDF (.pdf). Go to File and choose Print.



Choose doPDF v6 as your printer then click OK.



Then you will be asked where you want to save your converted PDF file. Click on Browse to choose the location to save the outcome. Then click OK.



Once you click OK, the conversion will start and it will open up the newly converted PDF file in your default PDF view, for instance Adobe PDF Reader or Foxit Reader.

That's all. You can create as many PDF files as you like with such methods for FREE. Why do you need to buy another PDF creator if you can get a fully functionally one for FREE, right?
