As the title.

I need to submit my MBA Management Report to the printers next week for binding. Their preferred file format is pdf rather than MS Word, but I don't have the necessary Adobe conversion software.

Can anyone please volunteer to convert this for me on a quick turnaround basis - probably Tuseday morning? It probably need to be someone with broadband due to the file size creeping up.

Due to the nature of the work, I will probably have a tight window to work with for finishing it and then sending it off.

If anyone can help, I would be very grateful,
TIA

Bryan

Ooops, just read the last of the post, but yeah could probably still do it. Any chance of emailing what you have done so far, so I can test that I can do it for you?

Edited to add, just testing now, can't seem to find how to do it

For future reference, you might want to looks at OpenOffice, which is free & can convert Word to pdf

You could try installing the PDF995 printer driver (www.pdf995.com/) - it gives you a virtual printer that you can select from pretty much any application and the "print" is actually a PDF document.

Give it a go - its free!

{edit:} D'oh! Beaten to it...

I've been playing with OpenOffice for a couple of weeks and I am bloody impressed. Used to think Excel was Msfts killer app ... no longer true.
