The simplest way to change a file into a PDF file so that you can send in an email is to save it in the PDF format in the first place. When you are saving your document, click on the arrow to the left of the bar that says, ‘Save as Type’ and a drop down menu will give a selection of options. Click on ‘PDF’ and that’s it. To send it as an email, just attach it as you would any other file.
If you want to create some bookmarks to make your PDF document easier to navigate, you will need the full version of Acrobat because that includes the Distiller program. Creating or modifying PDFs is not possible with the free Reader software.
To do it, choose the text that you would like to become the link. Click onto the ‘Link’ tool (the one that looks like a chain) or click onto the ‘Tools’ menu, and then choose ‘Link’.
Using the Link tool, draw a box around the text or the part that you would like to make linkable and you will find that the ‘Create Link’ dialog box will appear. Use the Acrobat navigation tools so that the page that you want the link to take you to is displayed, and then just click onto ‘Set Link’ in the ‘Create Link’ dialog box, and there you have it.
PDFs are ideal if you don’t want your work to be edited or plagiarised without your consent. Do remember that Microsoft Word 2007 now includes a standard PDF converter for your convenience, allowing you to benefit from the opportunity to convert files accurately without having to download specialist software that might cost you money.
