Converting files from other format to PDF is a wise idea if you want to create E-books for selling or making contract or some government report. Adobe Acrobat is the king when creating PDF files but editing files with Adobe Acrobat is not as convenient as Microsoft Office. Actually, there are some tools that can alter Adobe Acrobat. Most importantly, all of these tools are FREE.

NO1. The Office Plug-in, SaveAsPDF

Then install the plug-in on your computer. After you create Office document, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint and other Office files, click Save As, then choose PDF so you can publish a copy of the document as a PDF file.
