Last revised April 17, 1998. If you have documents, especially manuals or other extensive files, that you need to post to your Web page or intranet, using html is not always the easiest method. Adobe Exchange is great for converting your files because it's really easy to use, fairly inexpensive, and quick. The Acrobat reader is free, downloadable here from the Adobe Web site. The reason it is so popular is that the producer just makes one conversion for users with all types of systems.
Readers are available for most operating systems so users can read and print the files.
I have also found that the conversion process shrinks the files, making them easier to store and upload. Converting documents Once Adobe Exchange is installed on your system, you simply print to the PDF Writer to convert your file to Adobe. Then you can set up internal and external links, notes, bookmarks and thumbnail files. Simply converting existing documents through the PDF Writer gets the job done quickly. You can use this method to convert the mountain of legacy documents that most corporations seem to have in abundance.
