This post is a little different from my usual posts since it’s more technology than teaching-related.

I’ve been accumulating links to PDF converters — online tools that allow you to easily convert any file into a PDF, and thought readers might find them helpful.

First, since, until recently, I didn’t really understand why I might want to convert a document to a PDF, here’s an article listing ten reasons Why To Convert Word To PDF.

Here are links to several online conversion tools:

PDF Converter

PDF Generator

Guardar Como PDF

Sue Waters, in the comments, reminds me that I forgot to include Zamzar. Thanks, Sue!

I’d also include Zamzar since it converts to PDF and converts PDFs to Word documents (which is handy if you want to edit them).
