What program does everybody use to write their WSO's?

Hi,

I was wondering if there was a free software to use to change word files into .pdf.

Thanks!

    OpenOffice.org does a great job of importing word docs and exporting them as PDFs. You can also use it instead of Word, as it's a full featured word processor. It also comes with other office suite components such as spreadsheet, presentation, and database programs (like Excel, PowerPoint, Access). It's completely free from OpenOffice.org.

    As far as I'm aware, Word doesn't make the links in a PDF clickable. I don't have the newest version, but that was how it worked with whatever version I have installed. Openoffice.org is the best solution.

    Get bullzip pdf or primo pdf which are free virtual printer drivers. Install and then you can print your doc to a pdf printer and voila!

    Ditto for OpenOffice.

    It's the easiest, cheapest, and most straight-forward solution you can use.

    So far in this thread we have mentioned these:

    OpenOffice
    Word 2007
    bullzip pdf
    primo pdf
    www dot doc2pdf dot net
    pdf995
    Nuance PDF

    Probably the most important question for an WSO writer is, do links get translated to clickable links in the resulting PDFdocument? So far we have had 'NO' for Word 2007, and probably true for earlier versions as well. Can those experienced with the other PDF converters listed above answer 'yes' or 'no' for live linking in these other programs?

      When I first investigated this question a few years ago, the only one that gave a reliable YES was OpenOffice. I don't know whether or not any of the other options have improved, since I've used only OpenOffice for making PDFs from that day forward.
