In Office 2007 (and the new, beautiful 2010!) creating PDF files is easy. The function is automatically built into the Office button in the top-left corner. But for those of you still using Office 2003 or older, there are plenty of times you'll want to convert a Word document or Excel spreadsheet into PDF format.
For example, a customer asked recently if we could email him some flyers we had made to show different computer prices. It's not a problem to send the files, but if I send him the original Word documents, what kind of message does that send to him? He may think I don't know or can't be bothered to send a PDF file. There's a remote possibility he may fraudulently edit the original file to get a better deal. By sending him a PDF, I've ruled out all of these options.
