I’ve always felt that sending business documents in pdf format instead of word or excel looked and presented a more polished and professional image. It’s also much safer since the pdf’s cannot be edited very easily, nearly impossible for most users, and the formatting stays consistent across platforms, unlike word documents.
For a couple years now I’ve been using PrimoPdf which is a free program that converts any file type to pdf. They have an online version as well for those of you using computers that cannot download software to. It works well 95% of the time and is a great alternative to buying $200 software from Adobe.
I just stumbled upon another online tool that supersized what PrimoPdf could do. It’s called Zamzar and it not only converts to pdf, but it can convert to just about any other file type imaginable. It also converts audio and video files as well. It’s completely free, too!
