By


Do you have loads of photos and images stacked away in your comp? Surely you would want to share these photos with your family and friends? It's simple actually! Just convert it to PDF files and share. The PDF file format is a common internet file format (PDF stands for Portable Document Format) and it is the best format for sharing files because they are compact and condensed and most computers, mobile devices and ebook readers can easily handle PDF files. Moreover, PDF files truly preserves the look and feel of the original file, complete with fonts, colors, images, and layout. In other words ,the files look the same on screen and in print, no matter what kind of computer or printer one is using and no matter, what software package was used to create it!

Hi! I have use PDF-XChange Lite (Free) for long time. I can conveniently create Adobe compatible PDF files from any Windows application software. Also I use Viewer Free for my work with pdf-files. I can try all free and non-free features. I need use PRO-features (such as Insert/Extract/Delete pages, Rotate, Digitally Sign) and think about upgrade. It's not expensive, nice.
