Converting PDF files

[Anna_S]

I need to convert 2 word documents into one PDF, does anyone know how i can do this, or better still can someone do it for me??
I can't put the 2 word docs into one, as it'll mess the page number up

Thanks

I've sent you an e-mail via your profile. Reply with both docs and I will make it so.

Done and dusted - let me know if you don't get it.

There are a number of free online converters but I recently bought a version online for about $20.

The Yorkshireman in me said take the freebie, but the business man said finding a decent free one that didn't require registration and subsequent spam would take me more time/effort than $20 was worth.

Download cutepdf - it's free.

Do all these programs let you put 2 word docs into one pdf though? apparently its easy enough to do one word file into one pdf, just more difficult to get 2 into one

Can you not simply append the 2nd documet into Word first then convert it?

Put 2 word docs in to 1 word doc and then create the PDF?

... or create two PDFs if you must an merge them in Acrobat/CutePDF

I've always used PrimoPDF. Does the trick for me.

There is an upgraded version of the PDF writer above which does that as I recall.

My problem was that the two word docs were page numbered differently, so merging them would have messed it all up.

Thanks to the wonderful wealth of knowledge on PH though, problem is all sorted

OpenOffice is great for this stuff, just like word but you just click on pdf and its done, no fuss, free too.

Some pdf convertors leave a stamp on the bottom of the doc which is frustrating.

PDFMachine - free and works just fine. Just put PDFMachine into google.

Just so you know Anna, inserting a simple "Section Break" in Word would've allowed you to start a whole new page numbering scheme without carrying on from the old one. You can change both the value and style of the numbering from the break onwards, and keep the lot within one document.



Happy to have helped anyway. Was easy for me - I used the daddy: Acrobat 8 Pro.

Speaking of Open Office...

Is there any way of deleting pages from a document downloaded from the net? A couple of pages are unecessary and the document needs emailing, delete button says no...
