How to convert PPT to PDF with doPDF
Nowadays, the most widely used solution for transferring documents, images and other printable files between applications and platforms is storing your documents in PDF file format, a portable format that was designed to store all kinds to electronic documents. This type of file can store anything, from papers and drawings to electronic books, technical sketches and even image collections. A PPT file, commonly known as a PowerPoint presentation, is also a popular format that is widely used by both companies and individuals for presenting various sorts of information. However, this type of file doesn't enjoy as much support as the PDF format, therefore, converting them into portable documents seems like a good idea if you want to make sure that you will be able to view your presentations on any computer without worrying about installing specialized applications.
To help you do that, I have chosen the freeware doPDF 8.0 by Softland, because it is a piece of software that, compared to other applications, quickly converts PPT files to PDF format with just a few clicks of a mouse, without having to go through extensive menus or deal with a large number of settings. It is a perfect tool for those who want to convert these files in an instant. Furthermore, this program will also install itself as a virtual printer so that you can directly print documents to PDF files from various applications.
