What is the best way to create pdf. Create a PDF file online using three services

When you send by mail or publish a document on the site, you must be sure that the addressee will be able to read it. People use a variety of devices - stationary computers based on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux, as well as mobile gadgets on Android, iOS and other platforms. So, a universal format is needed to be read under any system. In the first place among them is the PDF developed by the famous Adobe company.


What is the distinctive PDF format:
  • A variety of content. In the file of this type, you can insert pictures, text, color background, metadata. When printing or reading from the screen, this document will contain a minimum of distortion.
  • Data redundancy. For example, text content in PDF may be contained in the form of text itself, and in the form of a picture. Thanks to this, you can copy the necessary objects from the file to others and not be afraid that something happens with formatting.
  • Support for all operating systems and many programs. All mobile office packages and desktop browsers can read PDF files independently.

The essence of the PDF format is that the user will read exactly in the way you thought it.

Let's figure out which there are ways to create PDF documents and programs for this task, both on computers and mobile devices.

On the computer

There are different ways to create a PDF file. First of all, it depends on the type of data you want to save in the document. For individual tasks (creation of a form, a universal text document, books, etc.) it is better to use specially intended for this program. In other cases, universal solutions are departed. Consider the most popular ways to create a PDF file on Windows 10.

Microsoft Word: When the case is in the text

One of the most simple methods (if you have Microsoft Office) is to create PDF documents directly in Word. This preserves the formatting of the text specified in the source, and all pictures that you inserted into it are also imported. If you have a program for viewing PDF (Adobe Acrobat Reader, Foxit, etc.), then after saving the document will open immediately in it. And you can evaluate how correctly it is created.

To create a PDF in MS Word you need:

  1. Press the Save Document button.
  2. Select location.
  3. From the list of formats to select PDF.

With all the simplicity and evidence, this method has shortcomings:

  • You must have Microsoft Office on your computer.
  • If you want to form a PDF from specific documents (for example, photocollages, packages for layout, etc., Word may not cope with this task and distort the initial type of object.

The same applies to alternative office packages (like OpenOffice.org or LibreOffice), since both the possibilities and restrictions have approximately coincide.

Tool cost: depending on the package. The price of MS Office 365 starts from 7 dollars a month, alternative packages are free.

Adobe Acrobat Reader DC: Creating from Scratch

Acrobat Reader is a program developed by the creators of the PDF format - Adobe. Applications for reading files of this type are free, but for the possibility of creating them and edit will have to pay from $ 15 per month. True, for the money you will get access to the cloud for storing data, as well as online tools from the company.

To create a PDF file, you need to select the appropriate item in the Acrobat Reader menu.

After that, you will be redirected to a webpage with a proposal to subscribe to the service. Unfortunately, this is a prerequisite, but, in the extreme case, you can do the trial version.

Faststone Image Viewer.

The popular program for viewing Faststone Image Viewer pictures also has the function of exporting images into PDF documents, including multi-page. This is done as follows:


This is the ideal way to create a multi-page document, for example, from scans that are stored in the form of individual drawings. The program is absolutely free, and there are no watermarks on the pages of it generated by it. If necessary, you can pre-process the document in the built-in Faststone editor by changing the parameters by adding text or pictures. For example, draw the arrows or highlight the fragment frame.

However, when using this method, there is a serious limitation: with Faststone it will not be possible to create a combined document from pictures and text. But it can be circumvented, if, for example, make a text file screenshot and use it along with other images.

Pdfcreator

Perhaps the most versatile method of creating PDF files is a virtual PDF printer that intercepts the image image when sending to print and saves them in the format you need. The PDFCreator program includes not only a virtual printer, but also the editor of the generated files. With it, you can create, edit and immediately send PDF files to the desired addressees.

Procedure:


The program is offered for free, but as you see in the screenshot, it shows promotional ads. The version without advertising will cost $ 10.3 per year. Or cheaper, if you immediately buy a subscription for two or three years.

Sejda PDF Desktop.

If you work with PDF format rarely, and the documents themselves are small, then you should arrange the SEJDA program. This is a full-fledged editor with which you can create documents from scratch and edit ready. We are interested in an example of creating PDF files from sources in Doc or JPG format. Consider the last.


Everything is done even easier with Word documents - you do not need to select the settings, they are copied from the file automatically.

In the free version you can edit the files no more than three times a day, and their size should not exceed 200 MB or 50 pages. Graphic objects from which you create PDF may be no more than 5 MB. If this is not enough, you will have to buy a full version for $ 70. One time or subscribe to 7 dollars of 95 cents per week.

On mobile device (tablet, smartphone)

Mobile applications for creating PDF files have both commercial and free. All products discussed below are available for Android, and for iOS.

Microsoft Word.

And again our old friend. This application works on mobile devices in conjunction with ONEDRIVE or OFFICE365.

How to create a PDF in the mobile version of Word:


The procedure on the iPhone and iPad will be similar.

Scanner for me

This cross-platform application allows you to easily scan the document of the mobile device camera and immediately create a PDF file from them, which, in turn, will be sent by mail, in the messenger or download to the cloud.

Consider how to use the iPad scanner:

On the iPhone and Android devices, the process looks about the same.

Unfortunately, the free version of the application allows you to save only five pages per day. Premium subscription costs $ 6.99 per month or $ 14.99 when paying for three months at once. In the paid version unlocked optical recognition of text, no advertising and watermarks.

In online services

If you need to create a PDF document only 1 time and without special delights, you can use online services. They have limitations on functionality, but for a one-time case it is not critical.

The name "Free PDF Converter" does not distinguish this project from dozens of those like him, but immediately sues the essence. With it, you can convert to PDF format Other data types are text documents, tables, presentations, as well as e-books.

This resource does not shit an abundance of options like SEJDA, but everything is needed in it. The interface is available in different languages, including Russian (as seen in the screenshot).

And most importantly - the service is very easy to use. It is enough to drag the file to the file that you want to convert, on a special field, and the page will automatically start loading and converting. File type is recognized automatically.

The "Merge and Separation" mode allows you to either connect several single-page PDF files to one or, on the contrary, highlight certain pages from a large file.

Service and disadvantages:

  • If you drag on the download field, several files are processed only.
  • You can convert in this way only 1 document per hour. If you need more, you have to issue a subscription for $ 9 / month, $ 69 / year, or $ 99 / indefinitely.

The service with such an emotional title also offers a large set of services for conversion or document processing. With it, you can create files from images and text documents, divide or combine ready-made objects.

As in the previous case, it is also enough to choose the desired section and drag the source code to the page. After that, the site itself will load everything, it will treat and send you results.

You can download files to I LOVE PDF as a whole set. The service makes it possible to arrange them in the desired order, select the orientation of the page and the width of the fields.

When the operation is completed, you can download the resulting file to your device, save it to the Google or Dropbox disk, and also copy the link to direct download to send the destination.

The service is available in Russian, completely free, and there are no restrictions on the size of the source code, and the files created by it do not contain watermarks. Instead, the site accepts donations, and also suggests buy a professional Solid Documents Commercial Program.

It seems that this is the perfect solution. But just in case, consider one more.

Sejda.

Already familiar to us the product SEJDA exists in the form of a stationary application, as well as online service. You can use it through the browser about the same way as through the program: choose the desired option and forward.

If we are interested in converting a ready-made file or their set to one PDF document, then do the following:


The SEJDA web version is subject to the same limitations as for desktop. For full-fledged work without limits on file size and the number of documents created, you need a subscription. Rates in the online version and in the local program are the same.

And the conclusions from today's review can be made the most optimistic:

  • Create a PDF file with the desired content possible.
  • To create PDF there is a lot of online services, desktop and mobile applications, so you can solve this task on any device.
  • For different tasks (convert office documents, creating a PDF from several pictures, fusion or trimming of finished files) an algorithm of action is about the same.

Although this format is considered professional, you can easily find your own tool for working with it. We hope you were useful for our instructions.

    Virtual printer
    Virtual printer - This is a computer program, the interface of which is similar to the usual printer driver, but it does not control the real printer.
    When a user starts printing a document on such a printer, the program definitely processes the resulting flow of graphic commands, sometimes allowing you to make changes to it, and the processing result is usually written to the file.

    Virtual printer functions:

    • Convert documents to PDF, DJVU or PostScript format.
    • Saving multiple documents to one.
    • Convert documents to graphic files, for example, in JPEG or TIFF, for presentation in a universal, platform-independent format.
    • Sending documents to the facsimile message server.
    • Adding features that do not support the printer, such as:
      • printing multiple pages on one without borders;
      • printing on blanks;
      • watermarks, and more.
    • remote printing of documents via the Internet.
    The virtual printer can be used to verify how the document will look like when printing.
    E-book formats

    (PDF, DJVU, CHM, EXE, TXT)


    1. PDF.
    (Portable Document Format)    		 Portable document format created by Adobe as a means of inter-platform data exchange. Although there are a lot of ways to transfer a document, for example, between Windows and Mac OS, Adobe PDF offers the most elegant solution. The format does not impose any restrictions on the appearance of the document - text, vector and raster graphics can be combined randomly.

    You do not need anything except the file and Acrobat Reader program to view the PDF file.
    2. DJVU.
    (Deja-Vu)    		 Graphic format developed by AT & T, optimized for storing scanned documents. Of particular importance, this format acquires for transfer to a network of mathematical and general technical literature, where the abundance of schemes and formulas makes recognition and translation into the text format almost impossible. Currently, DJVU becomes an actual standard for electronic libraries of technical and scientific literature. From now on there is a compromise option - the translation of the scanned pictures in the DJVU format (deja-IU). At the same time, the text and contrasting drawings are saved with a resolution of 300dpi, everything else is considered a background and persisted with reduced resolution. This allows you to squeeze the electronic document without losing his readability. The size of the scanned book file turns out to be within a few megabytes, which is quite acceptable.

    To view, you must either install the browser plugin, or use one of the graphic files that supports DJVU format. To open the book, you must run the WindjView program, and then open the book out of it.
    3. CHM.
    (Compiled HTML Help)

    Help format Developed by MicrosoftTV 1997. Initially, the CHM format was created to form a convenient and functional reference system to Windows programs. This format is often used not only to create helpe-systems to software, but also for publishing books in electronic form. The strongest side of this format is the presence of full-text search files. In short, the CHM file is a set of compiled HTML files, i.e., another language, something like an archive from Web pages. And the CHM file on the archive principle is valid, compresses the data stored in it, but not all, but only text or containing text, formatted using HTML tags (HTML, TXT, CSS and other formats files).

    Files.chm opens Internet Explorer.

    To create.chm files, you can use free programs: Microsoft HTML Help Workshop, HTM2CHM.
    4. EXE EXE files appeared in DOS and then they moved to Windows with minor changes. The EXE file format under Windows is called a PE file.

    An application that uses file.exe is most operating systems.
    5. TXT. If, after removing the text of the book, it is impossible to read it from the archive ("hieroglyphs" are displayed instead of text), download ADITOR text editor capable of determining the encoding "on the fly".

Good day! Today we will talk about what PDF format file and consider several free ways to create a PDF document.

What is PDF format?

The PDF file format (from the English. Portable Document Format is a portable document format) - is designed to represent in the electronic form of various documents with full preservation of formatting, that is, how the document is created so it will be displayed.

This format was invented by Adobe and first of all intended to display printing products, various glossy magazines and periodicals.

Formally, the PDF file, after creation, cannot be edited, so initially conceived by the developers. Today, this format is an indispensable tool when creating and maintaining documentation, creating, storing various technical information.

How to create a PDF document?

There are several ways to create a PDF document, including without the use of special programs.

The easiest is the use of online services.

The principle of creating PDF documents in all online services is the same, first you download them to your file, and then they give you a ready-made PDF document, but at the same time very many online services work via email, that is, after you have downloaded requiring Conversion to PDF file format, you require an email address to which you will send a finished file.

Not very convenient, right? Everything else, I have a resistant suspicion that the address of the mailbox falls into a kind of base that everyone who fell. You need careful with the distribution of the postal address ...

There are some other disadvantages of using online services: Over 30MB documents are not accepted, and the time of the conversion is very much dependent on the speed of the Internet connection.

There are a lot of services, but as it is most often converted from Word to PDF, that is, a DOC2PDF service is specifically sharpened under such a task.

The procedure is quite simple, go to the site and press the convert button.


A window appears in which we are offered to select a file.


At the output we get a PDF document.


That's all right. The only minus of this service is the curve to assign the name of the received file, not much scary, but still ...

Or, for example, another service, much more comfortable, universal and very functional.

CONVERTONLINEFREE called this service.

This service allows you to convert to PDF format almost any files, including Word documents, and Excel Tables, and PowerPoint slides, and images of different extensions.


When working with Microsoft Office files, batch file processing in the ZIP format archives are supported. That you mean, if there is an archive with different Microsoft Office files, then this archive can be converted to PDF format directly in the archive.

What it looks like you can look at the video below.

The ConvertonLineFree service has one essential advantage over the analogues: it can convert from PDF to the editable Word format, which is very useful in some cases.

To reverse conversion from you need to select the PDF tab in Word, and then the process is similar to the process described in the video.


In conclusion, I would like to repeat that there is a lot of free and paid services allowing you to create PDF documents, but I considered the most convenient and common.

Consider the method of creating a PDF document without the use of the Internet.
