PDFCreator for Office 2003

Converting MS-Office documents to PDF format is never easier than now. From Office 2007 SP2, all office documents can be directly export in PDF format.

However, I know there are some people are still stick to old Office 2003. I am one of them. I believe Office 2003 is the best mate for Windows XP. If you like using Office 2010, you have to upgrade your system OS to Windows 7 firstly. And I haven’t found any great benefit to upgrade to Windows 7. So, on my old Windows XP laptop, Office 2003 is working hard for dignity.

O.K, now the question is, any good solution for exporting Office 2003 documents in PDF format? I googled a little and find this very powerful and easy-to-use tool. And the best feature of this tool is: it’s FREE!

The tool’s name is PDFCreator.

PDFCreator is one of the best PDF creating tools. It build a virtual printer in computer. So, any documents can be converted to PDF, as long as can be print.

When you install this software, just remember installing PostScript component as well. After install successfully, no many things have to be done. Just open a Word 2003 document, for example, click print menu, and select PDFCreator as printer, then print. There will be a pop-up, which you need to fill-in PDF filename, title and subject, etc. Click O.K, the PDF will be generated instantly.

Easy and simple, isn’t it?

So, to those guys who stick old things, Windows XP and Office 2003 still is a excellent and effective working platform.

I will be staying on this platform till 2014.
