Option #1 is PDF Online, which converts just about any uploaded document (Word files, JPEG images, etc.) to a PDF and then e-mails it to you. Option #2 is a freeware “PDF print driver” called doPDF. It’s extremely easy to use, but the author provides a video demonstration anyway. Got a better way to produce PDFs? Tell us about it in the Comments!
