Publish to PDF
PDF (Portable Document Format) was created by Adobe as a way to view, print and share documents regardless of what software or hardware platform the reader is working with. PDF has quickly become a standard, and PDF files can be viewed using the free Adobe Acrobat Reader. The OfficeReady PDF converter allows you to publish your Microsoft Office documents as PDF documents with one click from the OfficeReady toolbar.

The PDF converter also allows you to create and attach a new PDF file to an email message for instant sending. This eliminates several steps in what can often be a cumbersome process of opening and closing several different programs. See more below.

Why you should publish to PDF
If you distribute documents on a regular basis, you will find there is a lot of upside to publishing and distributing those documents in the PDF file format.
Protected: The OfficeReady PDF converter allows you to password protect the PDF files you create. In addition, you have the power to control file printing and file editing properties. PDF is the easiest way to be sure that documents you create are secure. Formatted: PDF files retain the original formatting of the source document. This means all fonts, graphic elements and colors will show up in the reader's PDF file. The PDF will look the same no matter what Operating System, hardware or other software the reader has installed. Supported: PDF files can be viewed and printed using the FREE Adobe Acrobat Reader software. Millions of people already use Acrobat Reader so, while you can't be sure your reader is using Windows, you can be sure they have the ability to read PDF. Flexible: PDF isn't only used to make sure the reader can view the file. PDF files are also popping up on websites because it's the perfect format to use for quickly posting or publishing information that lives in a document. Hundreds and thousands of PDF files are also emailed every day.
