I'm very happy to share something that has been successful for me. I get alot from MB's like this and I like to give back when I can. :)I have no upline at all, and I depend on other consultants to give me ideas and help.
I also ask that everyone who requested a copy to please be patient...I will send when I know you can read! :)

Very cool tip from a consultant of mine:
You can go to http://www.pdf995.com/download.html
Download the Printer Driver (both version 8.0 and the free converter)
If I remember correctly set it to run rather than save. I think there is something on the download that will walk you through.
Anyway, once installed all you have to do is build your file and then when you're done save it (word or whatever). After saving your file go in like you are going to print the document (file, print, etc) and select the 995 as your printer. It will automatically save it as a .pdf.
Hope that's not too confusing!

Help! I downloaded. When I went to hit print, I told it to pick 995. That's where I'm stuck. It's not doing anything at this point. Do I have to choose "pick this as my default printer". I don't really want that, do I??? Please go slow with me...I'm not good at this. http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley36.gif

You don't need to select it as your default printer, just select it to print this one document. Once you have hit print, it should go to a "save as" page withing the PDF995 folder. That's where you will save it as a PDF file. Hope this helps . . .

Still trying to figure this out. I hit "print", "Printers", If I hit "pdf995" just once, it prints it. If I click it twice, a box comes up. It gives me options of "printer, document, view, help". But nothing else is there.It never says "save as". I'm so confused.... I REALLY want this to work!!! Help

Ok...I figured it out! On my computer, I don't hit "print". Instead I hit "Publish to" and it gives me options, one is pdf. So I think I got it right. Thank you SO much for the link, and for the help. Sincemost people can't see my Word Perfect files, this will be the best way to send my files to other people. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley32.gif
