This is good advice. I assumed that the chap was on a PC, since his original post asked about Front Page.

Word of caution, before you upgrade to Acrobat 6.0, try the free demo if you're on a PC. But make sure your system will handle Acrobat 6.0. If you're on a Mac, it is OSX only. Windows is NT 4 with Service Pack6, Win 2000, or Win XP. You can get more info and the Demo at www.adobe.com.

The 4.05 upgrade never was available as a download. You will have to call Adobe to see if they still support it. Otherwise, you can upgrade to version 6 for $99.00. This is worth it, as version 4.x is now nearly five years old and has undergone dramatic and beneficial changes.

Acrobat is now up to version 6.x. If you are still using version 4.0, make sure and upgrade it to 4.05, or you're in for one heap of trouble. There were 11,000 bugs in Acrobat 4 (by Adobe's own admission). That's a lot of pesky flies.

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.

I am using Distiler 4  for generating PDF's
I would like to know what Acrobat does
I know that it is a very silly question.
But I also know that, if you do not admit your ignorance you WILL not learn
Hence this question

I know this has been mentioned before but I think it is worth mentioning again.  OpenOffice.org will create PDF files.  It will also read MS Word files.  So, Steve, you can use OpenOffice to create PDF's from Word files.

The best part is that OpenOffice.org is free from http://www.OpenOffice.org.

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

HI:
Is it necessary to have Front Page installed to create PDF files and documents in Word?
