How-to: Convert Your Word Document to a PDF File

Adobe’s PDF is a highly popular document format. Portability and printability are two of the most important aspects of PDF that make it popular. In this short article, let me explain to you how you can convert a Word document, created with Microsoft Word (any version) into the PDF format.

Step 1: First of all, download and install an application called SodaPDF. This is the best PDF creation software in the world. It can not only convert documents from Word format, but also from almost three hundred other formats, including HTML, PPT, RTF, TXT, etc.

Step 2: Open SodaPDF application, and click on the top, ‘Create and Convert’ tab. Here you have several different options to create PDF documents from. The option you need to select here is ‘Create from Any File’.

With this application, you can do almost everything involving PDF documents. You can convert a PDF document into Word format or one of the other many supported formats; you can secure the document with digital signature; and you can use the OCR function to convert an image that involves text into actual text in a PDF file.

I have a nice home page set up in iGoogle with news from BBC, CNN, and others; my calendar; a widget for time management; topic-specific news on technology, stock quotes, weather; and some other interesting stuff. It was a page that I woke up to for many days. It seems obvious that the popularity of home page services has been coming down in the recent years; another popular service in this arena, Netvibes has turned into something else entirely.
