I am fortunate to have the full version of Adobe Acrobat that I used when I was still working. So I have the ability to create pdf documents from anything, including webpages. I have found this particularly helpful as I have searched and studied information relating to my health problems. I have a virtual file cabinet of documents I have created over the last 5-6 years stored on my computer.

For the majority of people who use the free version of Acrobat Reader, I have discovered a terrific freeware that will create pdf documents from virtually anything - CutePDF Writer. I have installed and tested it on a computer that only runs Acrobat Reader. It is easy to install, simple to use, and creates a basic pdf document that can be viewed with Acrobat Reader. CNet gives it 4.5 stars. I give it 5.

Here’s how simple it is - 3 easy steps:

1. From any document or webpage, choose Print from the File menu:


2. Select CutePDF as the printer you want to use and click Print:


3. Name your document and click Save:


It will create a pdf document like the one attached to this post. I used the NeuroTalk website as a sample, but you can also create pdf documents from Excel, Word, jpeg, etc. You can create a pdf from any document you can print.

The software can be downloaded here:

CutePDF Writer Freeware

You will only need the Free Download. The Free Converter will install automatically.

I hope everyone finds this helpful for saving websites as pdf documents.
