RE: [PDF-Basics] Why Acrobat ?

[Rich Sprague]

Distiller is a tool within the Acrobat package.   The Acrobat application will allow one to:   a) Open the PDF that Distiller makes (you can also do this in the free Adobe Reader).   b) Add functionality to or modify the PDF.   Rich From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Srinivasulu Sent: Friday, January 16, 2004 6:01 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PDF-Basics] Why Acrobat ?

The best part is that OpenOffice.org is free from http://www.OpenOffice.org. George Rich Sprague wrote: No, Steve.   You need Adobe Acrobat. You create a document in Word, or many other applications, then print a PDF document. Some applications have a built-in export feature, but Word isn't one of them. www.adobe.com   Rich From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of steven hartsock Sent: Thursday, January 15, 2004 5:15 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PDF-Basics] HI: Is it necessary to have Front Page installed to create PDF files and documents in Word?
