So you want to make PDF documents?

Just spent the last 3.5 hours working on my draft treatise which is due tomorrow. Had uber writer's block yesterday. Produced 300+ words over 4 hours. Tonight I managed to up it to just over 1000 words. Pretty happy with the progress. Will continue to work on it tomorrow.

So while I was taking a break, I decided to browse the Internet and came across an interesting article on how to make pdf documents without software.

There are two methods to create PDF files online. Each method is followed by a list of available free services, first choices being the best based on extensive testing and personal experience.

1. Convert: Upload the document from your computer and the PDF is sent to your email address within a couple of minutes.

• Express PDF (DOC, RTF, XLS, HTML files and URL - max. 20MB size)
• PDF Online (DOC, RTF, XLS, MHT, TXT, PPT, PPS, PUB, JPG, PNG, BMP, TIFF, WMF, EMF, GIF files - max. 2MB size)
• PDF Convert (65 file types supported, unlimited file size but max. 7 files per month. Also converts PDF to DOC or XLS)

2. Generate: Enter the address of the website and download the PDF instantly. No email address is required.

• PDF-o-Matic (URL, unlimited file size?)
• HTML To PDF (URL, unlimited file size?)
• HTML 2 PDF (URL, unlimited file size? Adds a watermark ad)

Productivity Tip: For the second method, you could save even more time by using the Add to Searchbar extension for Firefox and generating PDFs of the website you want to "print" directly from the search box.
