Use either Ghost script /Jaws PDF Creator /Foxit Pdf Creator Software... Install it . The Program installs as "printer". Using the print option will generate the required pdf file of .doc /.xls file. If using office 2007 install the save as pdf plugin.

@ ketanpatel : as you are also using ubuntu (from open source section). open office can export excel/ word files to pdf format. just click File>>Export as pdf

LOL.. Sorry

Download these 2 software: Ghostscript and CutePDF writer. Install both. This will install a new printer: PDF generator. To convert any document to print, just use the print option in that software (word, excel, IE, FF etc.) and select PDF writer as the printer. The document would be converted as a PDF. Hope now its clear

You don't need any "physical" printer attached, I guess it will create a dummy "virtual" printer to fool the printing software into making a pdf.

It will work..The printer you will install will be a virtual printer..Give it a try.. The software's interface is pretty easy.. @least try 1st...

mehulved · 14-04-2008, 09:19 AM

Use openoffice.org. It's quite big in size but easiest to create pdf's in.

ThinkFree · 14-04-2008, 10:21 AM

^^But the size of pdf file created is larger if you create it using open office as compared to using other convertors

ray|raven · 14-04-2008, 10:24 AM

^Eh?, I've never had such a problem.
I did have that problem with a pretty old version of Abiword but its soved now.

heartripple · 14-04-2008, 10:26 AM

I converted the same doc file with openoffice and its size was 60KB. When I did the same thing with PDF Creator, it was just 21 KB

ray|raven · 14-04-2008, 11:09 AM

^Oh, hmm. You did that on windows?
Coz AFAIK, On *nix both OpenOffice and Abiword use a virtual cups printer.
Dont know how things go in the windows version of OO.o

ThinkFree · 14-04-2008, 11:11 AM

^^Yes, on windows

kalpik · 14-04-2008, 12:04 PM

Best thing for windows is primo PFD.

Faun · 14-04-2008, 04:53 PM

Opensource alternative

casanova · 15-04-2008, 11:45 AM

If using Office 2007, you can download the SaveAsPDF plugin and create a PDF.

a_medico · 15-04-2008, 12:52 PM

- install any of the softwares suggested above(my one more suggestion - PDFfactory)

- open the word file

- select print option

- in select printer option, select any of the softwares you have used from above

After clicking print, it will save the file in pdf instead of actually printing, avoiding any need of a real printer.
