First of all, I open the document I want to convert to PDF on my laptop. Once opened, I now go ahead to click on the Print feature or use the CTRL+P shortcut. Here, the Print file page opens and in place of my printer, I simply choose the PDF Creator. From here, I have to input a few necessary feature and click the continue button. In less than a few more clicks, I have created a new PDF document from an existing image or word document file.

The other method is also very simple. Once you locate the document you wish to convert to PDF, right click on it and select the “Create PDF with PDF Creator option”. This action automatically opens up the PDF Creator. Once there, you can follow the prompt just as in the first method to create your PDF document.

With the PDF Creator, you can join more than one file to create a new PDF document. This action is known as merging of files. For example, you have two pictures you would want to be in the same PDF file. What you can simply do is the follow the methods used in creating a new PDF file. However, leave the first file in the print job and then add the other files. Once you are done, you can now click on the “Merge all” button to combine all files into a new PDF file.

Features of PDF creator

i. Helps you save files automatically: The PDF creator comes with an auto-save feature that ensures that all your documents are automatically saved.

Fortunately, with the PDF creator, these images can be easily resized, compressed, merged and sent out to the receiving party.
