Creating PDF files

In one of the articles we talked about how to open a PDF file. Now we will talk about creating PDF files. We will look at a number of programs that will help you create a PDF file from any document, and also show in detail the process of creating a PDF file with their help.

Programs that are used to create PDF files are called PDF printers. After installation, such programs create a virtual printer on the system. You can send any document that can be printed to such a printer, and as a result you will receive a full-fledged PDF file.
