Hi,

I'm looking for free software to create a pdf file with my MAC. Any suggestions?

Thank you

Its very easy on the Mac.

You Open your 'Print' dialog by invoking the Print function for your document. Then click 'Continue' and you will see a 'PDF' button that when clicked displays a drop-down list.

Select the 'Save' option from this drop-down list and your PDF is created for free on the Mac.

Sean is right, no need for special software with a Mac.

If you want a great resource for finding software both Free and Paid, here's the best site I've found yet, besides Apple.

Pure Mac: Software for Macintosh

Hi Bjorn: You can create up to five free .pdf documents online at the Adobe site via their free trial offer. I think the monthly subscription after that is about $10 a month.

https://createpdf.adobe.com/adc/subscribe.do

And, as mentioned above, using the printer function creates excellent pdf files.

If you have iWork (I think it costs about $89 USD) you can create some amazing pdf documents - plus lots of other goodies as well. It is a terrific program.

I also use Photoshop Elements to create and edit .pdf files - again, not a free program, but a good one.

P.S. Thanks for the link, Pat!

In case you want to make PDF out of webpage, try out Papparazi (free).

It will capture the whole page into a one page PDF instead of several pages if you use PDF button on print function.
