How To Create PDF Without Software

Portable Document Format (PDF) is the standard file format for the distribution of electronic documents and forms around the world. If your aim is "to print a web page, word document, photo or pretty much anything else" and save it as a PDF file, you don't even need to download anything.
There are two methods to create PDF files online.

1. Convert: Upload the document from your computer and the PDF is sent to your email address within a couple of minutes.

  • Express PDF (DOC, RTF, XLS, HTML files and URL - max. 20MB size)
  • PDF Online (DOC, RTF, XLS, MHT, TXT, PPT, PPS, PUB, JPG, PNG, BMP, TIFF, WMF, EMF, GIF files - max. 2MB size)
  • PDF Convert (65 file types supported, unlimited file size but max. 7 files per month. Also converts PDF to DOC or XLS)

2. Generate: Enter the address of the website and download the PDF instantly. No email address is required.


For the second method, you could save even more time by using the Add to Searchbar extension for Firefox and generating PDFs of the website you want to "print" directly from the search box.
