To convert a Word or other text file into a portable document (.pdf) file that can be read by the free Adobe Reader, there are a few methods. The two bet methods are:
1) Buy Adobe Acrobat and you will have all of the features and documentation necessary to create a .pdf file. ($449 from Adobe.)
2) Download OpenOffice for free and import your document into OpenOffice*. Once you have opened your material within OpenOffice you can select Export as PDF... from the File menu. ($0, but there is a learning curve.)
*You may want to consider using OpenOffice as your Word replacement--it is excellent and free!
(Yes, we can do it for you. We charge $20.)
