Property investment consultants Legat Corbishley wanted us to convert their Word documents in to PDF’s. We sourced out a piece of free software that was more than capable of the job and allowed the client to do it themselves, thus saving them quite a bit of money!

The software in question is doPDF and can be downloaded from here. Once installed it’s a quick and painless process to convert your documents:

TURNING YOUR FILES IN TO A PDF

• To turn it in to a PDF go to File > Print
• In the print box that appears choose doPDF v7 as your printer and hit OK
• In the doPDF print box that appears make sure the following options are checked:
  • Embed fonts
  • Open PDF in reader (so you can check the PDF is correct)
  • Small file
• Then hit the browse button to save the PDF to a location on your computer. You can also rename the PDF if you want but remember it needs .pdf at the end.
• et voilà, you now have a PDF version of your document.
