Install a PDF printer to print documents directly to a PDF file

Have you ever wished you could save a Word document or an Excel spreadsheet as a PDF file and email it to a friend or co-worker? There are a number of free PDF tools that allow you to do just that!

Here are a couple of free products that, when installed, add a new printer to your computer automatically. For example, if you wanted to print a Word document and email it to a friend but didn't want any changes made to the document, you would print it to your "PDF" printer just like you would to your regular printer and then email that file instead of your Word doc.

Give it a try! Just download and install one of these two products. Printing to a PDF is as simple as printing to your regular printer, just select the "PDF" printer instead when asked which printer you want to print to.
