Adobe PDF Forms

There's more than one way to create a PDF

Option 1: Print It!

• In almost all programs you can use a PDF printer to print a PDF
• In the list of printer you should see "Adobe PDF"
  />

The downside to printing is the PDF is basically just an image. Hyperlinks and links from a table of contents will be lost.

Option 2: Save As!

• The convert a document to a PDF, either do a "Save as" or in the tool bar there may be an Adobe Tab. Here you'll see a "Create PDF" button.
  
• This will keep hyperlinks active in the PDF and also if you have a table of content links.

Option 3: Convert It!

• When you right click a document, such as a powerpoint or word doc, you'll get in your context menu the option to "Convert to PDF"
• This process is similar to printing in that you will lose hyperlinks and any the table of content links
