Son has to PDF 80 pages of "This is Your Life" - my birthday book. Lots of photos + text.

He uses a Mac. Typical text page that I rather like!

What, please, is the best approach??

Tim,

Mac OS X has a built-in PDF convertor.

For a freeonline convertor...

Always help on hand - thanks

He's too busy writing 2 new books to have noticed that!!

you don't say what he is using to create the original such as iwork, pages, word etc - but if you set the finished article to print you can convert it to a pdf there and then - simples  ;D

bet it will be a d**n fine piece though  :)

I use a free program called cute pdf. you can download it from the internet

What now? Not sure - except that it's on a hard disk & in book form.

presumably you want to distribute this from the hard disk to folks, hence the pdf?, so you just need to use one of the options suggested to you - whatever format it has been created on it can easily be converted

just for fun, create any old document and pretend to print it (on the mac) and see the option for making it into a pdf in the options box and then save it to the desktop then see how easy it is

I don't know if other systems are the same, but my system allows you to "print to file", any file which is on screen. I have the choice of .pdf (Portable Document File) or .ps (PostScript). As long as a page of the file is showing on screen it will print the whole file.

All passed to him-who-is-doing-it. Great stuff!!

Your fans are waiting Tim ;) ;D.

also just to say Tim that if you don't want to use the pdf choice in the print option then whenever ready and the original doc is running you can just use the 'export' option in the file menu to convert to pdf - good luck Superman  ;D

open office and google apps also easily convert to pdf.
