Creating a PDF Document: From an Electronic Document
In this case, you can use a document that you already have saved on the computer or a floppy disk or you can type the text into a word processor and create the PDF document from there.
If you are working at the Library Headquarters you can open Microsoft Word to type in your document. (if you have your document saved on a floppy disk in Word Perfect you can open it Word. Just open Word then click File then Open then change the Files of Type box to All Files(*.*). Then open your file)
Or, if you are creating a new document just begin typing it into Word as you normally would.
Once you have finished your document click on File then Create Adobe PDF.
You will see this screen:
Make sure to set the Directories: box to the correct directory and remember where you are putting the file so you can get it later.
Enter the name you wish to call your PDF file and end the file with .PDF
You will then see this screen:
You can enter/change any of the text here you want and click OK.
You will see a message that the PDF is being saved.
You can now close Word.
Find the PDF document you just created and double-click to open it.
Here you can see what the PDF will look like when it is downloaded from the Internet. You can print the PDF by clicking on File then Print.
