PDF format files are more and more popular so that we often need to convert our Office or image to PDF format. There are some converters such as Win2PDF and so on. However, actually, there are two free other options for converting digitized documents to pdf which are quite easy and fast. I call them "Google Docs" and "OpenOffice.org".

Tips

Text, image, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint can be exported to PDF file format in OpenOffice.org. And it has no file size limitation. However, files with format such as PNG, JPG,DOC, DOCX, XLS, XLSX, ODS, PPT and so on are all exported to PDF by using Google Docs too. But it has a pity that your file size should have a limited size.
