Creating Adobe PDF files from other applications
You can create Adobe PDF files from applications other than Acrobat using any of three
methods.

This method is available in such authoring applications as Adobe

InDesign

, and Adobe® PageMaker®. All the necessary
components for creating Adobe PDF files are installed and configured automatically when
you perform a typical installation. You are ready to create PDF files right away. See the
documentation that came with your application for information on converting files this
way.
Use the Adobe PDF printer. You can create Adobe PDF files from any application that
has a Print command. (See

Use PDFMaker, an application in authoring applications that converts documents directly
to PDF. For information on which versions of these applications are supported, visit the
