Q: First things first – How do I create PDF documents on my computer without Adobe Acrobat?

A: Get a copy of DoPDF – it installs as a virtual printer driver on your desktop just like Acrobat and lets you print PDF files from any Windows application including images, documents, emails, websites, etc.
Q: I don’t want to install software just for converting a bunch of documents to PDF. Do you know of any alternative?

A: Upload your documents to Google Docs via the browser and then export them as PDF files. Simple.

- Q: How do I directly save a web page as PDF without having to save that page as an HTML file first?
  
  A: Go to PrimoPDF, type the URL of the web page and they’ll send you a PDF version of that page via email.
- Q: How can I convert PDF files into other formats like Word documents, images, HTML web pages, etc.
  
  A: You can upload the PDF document to Zamzar and convert it any formats like doc, html, png, txt or rtf (rich text format). Alternatively, you can convert PDF to HTML using Gmail.
- Q: How do I create a single PDF package by merging files of different formats.
  
  A: Try Loop PDF – it’s a free service that lets you combine multiple documents, images and even web pages into a single PDF file.
- Q: How do I merge two or more PDF files into one? Can I also change the page order?
  
  A: You can grab PDF Fill – it’s a versatility PDF editing tool that lets you combine PDFs from the desktop. PDF Fill can also help you rearrange pages in any order or for rotating pages inside a PDF.
- Q: I can’t get the above trick to work since I have a scanned PDF.
  
  A: You can extract text from scanned PDF documents with Google Search. It’s not an instant process but probably the only free solution we know of.
- Q: I have some restricted PDF documents on my computer in the sense that they neither allow printing nor can you select text with the mouse.
  
  A: Get the PDF Unlocker – its a free Windows utility that will remove all common restrictions around a PDF file without requiring any passwords. Alternatively, you may use the online service at ensode.net that will remove all the printing or copying/pasting related restrictions from your PDF.
- Q: Some PDF files on our company’s intranet are protected by a password that no one can remember anymore. Can we still open them?
  
  A: Check this article – How to Open Password Protected PDF
- Q: Someone sent me a PDF document in Chinese but I can read only English?
  
  A: You can easily translate PDF files using Google Translate and Zoho Viewer.
- Q: How can I add annotations or text notes to some of my PDF documents?
  
  A: Get the PDF-X Viewer – it’s like Adobe Reader but with some extra features. You can add comments, annotations or even paste images to your PDF pages. You can also add annotations, call-outs and text to your PDFs online with PDF Escape.
- Q: Can I fill PDF forms online without Acrobat Reader?
  
  A: Sure, go to PDF Filler, upload the PDF form and start typing. PDF typewriter works by converting PDF forms into images and allowing the user to type right on top of the images.
- Q: I have a PDF book that contains some 200 pages. Is there a way to extract selected pages from that book and save it as another PDF.
  
  A: You can either PDF Merge or PDF SAM (split and merge) to extract pages from a PDF document.
- Q: How can I protect my PDF documents with a password?
  
  A: Upload your PDF file to PDF Hammer, set a security password and export it as PDF again.
- Q: Which online service(s) would you recommend for uploading PDF files on the web?
  
  A: My favorite is Issuu – they have built an excellent PDF viewer inside a beautiful interface. You can also use Issuu to embed PDF files in your own website. Next recommendation is Scribd – it’s a more popular service so your PDF document would get more eye balls.
