PDF Resources for your Books and E-Books

If you want to lock your materials and make sure that what you send people is what they receive and can’t diddle with it or change it around, you’re a candidate for using PDF to send and receive your materials over the net.

If you’re going to be offering your materials in a pay-per-download format, you’ll most likely be required by the sites that list your material for sale to convert it to PDF format before you submit it.

PDF is a form of snapshot software originally developed by Adobe™ that is universally readable by both the Windows® and Macintosh® system and virtually every computer sold comes with a free PDF reader from Adobe™.

If it doesn’t, all you have to do is go to www.adobe.com and download and install the free reader for your computer system.

The problem for most people is that although the Adobe Acrobat™ reader is free, the writer software is not, weighing in at somewhere between $300-$400.

If your project needs the PDF characteristic but does NOT require Acrobat™, you can use another FREE PDF compiler that meets your needs.
