First let me explain what PDF Creator actually is, it’s a virtual print driver that will convert almost any file into a PDF file format. In fact PDF Creator can convert any printable document into PDF file format. The uses are limitless, I have used PDF Creator to convert word documents into PDF files so I could send them easily and know that my documents couldn’t be altered.

Make sure to get the newest version of PDF Creator, and any available updates or patches for PDF Creator. Once install all you have to do is print any document, in the printers to print to option there will be the virtual printer, PDF Creator. Now you are ready to start converting any document you want into your very own PDF file.
The program is pretty simplistic and very easy to use, anyone with any prior knowledge of printing documents, should be able to use the program. But just incase there is any confusion I have included screen shots and instructions on how to convert a word document into a PDF file. First step is to open the word document, and then click on File in the toolbar menu. Click on print, and a new window will open with some options you are probably familiar with. You will want to click on the printer name drop down menu and choose the option PDFCreator. Then you will need to click on print and the PDF Creator wizard window will open; now you will have the option to name your file, select the date and time, add an author name, subject, and keywords. There are also other buttons at the bottom of the window you can change some other advanced options. We will just need to click on save and then choose the location we want to save our file. Once we do that we will need to click on save and then the program will go to work.
