Converting PDF files for free
If you’re looking for something easy and free to use to convert files to PDF, look no more. There’s a website called PDF online that will take your original document, convert it to PDF, and email it to you for free. It works great, and it is very easy to use. You can also download (aka: buy) a version to run on your computer for $15. That’s pretty cheap.
I think that’s a great utility. But I have to wonder - why does everyone love pdf files so much?
I hate them. They seem heavy on resources - both to start Acrobat as well as the amount of memory each document takes to save, you can’t easily copy and paste, and they just seem clunky…
Of course, I realize that a lot of people like the aspect of saving a file that cannot be changed.
Maybe it’s just me. In any case, if I have to make a pdf file on my deathbed, I will use that utility…
