Hi,

I need to make 2 PDF files from a couple of simple word docs. I don't have adobe PDF making software, so wondered if anyone could help me out and turn these two docs into PDFs?

I need it so that a user can't easily steel the text - so perhaps a locked PDF or something?

Thanks in advance,

Sam

I don't mean to sound pedantic, but if they are just simple Word documents, what is to stop them just re-typing out the text and re-setting the type?

Free PDF Creator - PrimoPDF. Convert to PDF from any application by simply 'printing' to the PrimoPDF printer - it couldn't be easier!


Does a good job...

Try ghostscript (www.ghostscript.com) - it's free under the GPL.

Thanks for the replies, got it sorted thank you for the download link.

People can re-type sure, but 6 A4 pages worth... quicker to do it yourself. Its the legal terms and conditions for my site, I don’t want competitors to nick them as I spent ages making them!

(Not sure if what I have is going to work 100%, if it dosent I will re-post. Thanks for the help.)

If you still need help - let me know. Adobe Acrobat with document security settings can stop anyone printing the doc or extracting. I suppose you can still print screen and paste into word but nothings 100%.
