If you access to the full version of Acrobat:
Acrobat Converts Postscript files to PDF format. This can be
accomplished using Acrobat Distiller that comes with the full
version of Adobe Acrobat or via an application you use everyday.
Acrobat can install plugins that allow you to create pdf's directly
from various applications such as:
- Office Suite
- WordPerfect
- Corel
- Adobe Suite
To use this functionality the application must be installed
before Acrobat. Once this is done you can create a PDF in MSWord,
for example, by doing the following:
- Open an existing MS Word or PowerPoint file.
- Under the Acrobat menu: select “Change Conversion Settings”Select
“screen” for web compression or “press” for high resolution
printing.
- Select “View result in Acrobat” Name and save where you want.
If you do not have access to the full version of Acrobat:
Windows: Install and use the free PDF-Creator utility:
Mac OSX: Use the built-in PDF creator:
Linux and Solaris: There are many free programs available for PDF creation
on Unix platforms. If you need to be able to create PDFs from either a Linux or
Solaris workstation, please contact SI Computing at si.computing@umich.edu
