Well, this revu is slysha ''techie''. Pl. Bear with me.
I presume, all MS community knows what PDF file is. PDF is just miraculous file format. It enables users to see the document ''as it is''; no matter what platform, fonts one has on one's system. Even if you don't have Hindi (or even swahili) font installed on your computer; you can still view/print the a Hindi (or Swahili as the case may be) document !!! Moreover, the pictures, tables, graphs will appear as they are; unlike in MS Office where the document created with MS Office 2000 may appear differently when viewed in Office XP.
Viewing or printing Adobe PDF documents is easy. One just has to download the Acrobat reader for this purpose. It's free. But for creating your own PDF file, you need to purchase Adobe's Writer... Not anymore!!! For now you've got PDF995.
One of friend told me about it, I tried it and I just loved it. The software is amazingly simple, user-friendly, fast, stable and most importantly... It works!!! It gets installed as a virtual printer on your computer; so when you give ''Print'' command in any application (be it MS-Office, Internet Explorer, Paintbrush or anything) you get two options to choose from: To use PDF995 or to use your regular printer. In order to get PDF version of your document, you select PDF995 as your printer and you have your own PDF file!!!
If all this doesn't sound too great, you should know why is it important to create PDF files.
1) PDF gives you assurance that your document will appear as it is on ANY computer on the world... even on 8085 based processor in Zambia!!! (No offence.. just kidding)
2) It's of tremendous use to researchers, bussinessmen, IT professionals who need to share information with others and often deal with shady graphs, pictures, tables etc.
3) People who share confidential docs which has to be password protected.
I dunno much... but it seems PDF can do amazing things for you. Look at:
