teitel Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 What is a safe Word to Pdf converter that is virus free? I have googled and tried to download 2 different versions but my anti-virus stops it because it contains malware or a virus. Any suggestions?

boscopup Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 CutePDF I've used it for years. Works great. ETA: http://www.cutepdf.com/Products/CutePDF/writer.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmmetler Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 I'm using Word 2007 and I can save as .pdf natively, and I'd imagine any newer version can as well, so I'd make sure you don't already have the ability and don't realize it first!

Guest Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 I've been using PDFlite for about a year and never had any problems. Love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stripe Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 I like Do PDF. It doesn't put a watermark on it as some others do. It comes up on the print options so you can print anything (inc web pages) as a PDF. http://www.dopdf.com/ Open Office is a Word alternative that has a built in "save as PDF" option.

Arcadia Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 PDF ReDirect Microsoft word does have a print to PDF function. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay3fer Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Ditto - since switching to Word 2007, I just do File, Save As... and PDF is an option. However, my favourite printer is actually a SUITE of very useful PDF tools: PDFill. I have tested PrimoPDF, DoPDF, CutePDF etc., and find that PDFill does a better job... plus, the other tools include helpful PDF-to-image converters, utilitites that let you strip out only certain pages from a PDF, combine PDFs, and more. But if you all you want to do is print to PDF, then it does install a print driver just like the others. This package (free!) was invaluable when I bought Mr. Q Science because there was no way I was printing the whole Student book. PDFill let me strip it into 2 parts - the workbooky stuff that needed printing and the read-aloud stuff I could just stash on my Kobo. I have been printing to PDF for almost a decade but honestly, I was never happy with any solution until PDFill. Boy, I sound positively evangelical about this thing. I promise, I don't get a commission... I just love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teitel Posted September 21, 2012 Author Share Posted September 21, 2012 Well what do you know, I can save as a pdf in Word. Thanks dmmetler! I never would have even thought to check see if I could do that. Thanks to everyone else too who gave me suggestions. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripe Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 I have something I've been using called PDFSam to combine and remove pages from PDFs. It's free and leaves no watermark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
