Creating PDFs

You can use Share to create PDFs from any of the following types of files: Microsoft Word (.doc), PowerPoint (.ppt), Excel (.xls), HTML (.html, .htm), text (.txt.), Corel WordPerfect (.wpd), and OpenOffice and StarOffice presentation, spreadsheet, graphic, and document files.

  1. Click Convert to PDF.
  2. To create a PDF from a file that’s already in your library, drag the file thumbnail to the drop area. Or click Upload a new file and select a file from your computer.
  3. Click Create PDF to start the conversion.
  4. When the conversion is finished, you can do any of the following:

    • Share the PDF.

    • Download it to your computer.

    • Click Copy URL to copy the PDF file’s URL into memory. You can then paste the URL into an email message or document.

    • Click Copy HTML to copy HTML code that can be pasted into an HTML file to show a preview of the shared PDF file on a web page.

  5. Click Done to close the Create PDF pane and return to the library.

If you created the PDF from a library file, the thumbnail for the file now shows two icons, one for the new PDF and one for the original source file. Click on an icon to switch between files.
