Adobe Reader is the application that most people use for reading PDF. Adobe Acrobat 6 is the 'sister' product that provides the gold standard for creating PDF files.

My ebook helps you avoid having to spend a lot of time figuring out how to create straightforward ebooks. 

Using Microsoft Word Properly 

Proper use of Microsoft Word features can make the task of creating PDF from Adobe Acrobat 6 easier and more efficient. You need to:

• Use the Normal, Outline and Print views appropriately.

• Use headers, footers and automatic page number generation correctly.

• Use appropriate styles and fonts.

• Make effective use of Section and Page breaks.

• Use headings to make table of content generation, PDF bookmarks, and hyper-linking conversion automatic and straightforward.

You can create free downloadable ebooks using Adobe technology online. My ebook reviews this way of creating free downloadable ebooks, and its limitations. These include:

• You only get a limited number of attempts at generating PDF. 

• Certain formats cannot be generated by the online version. These might be important for your ebook, or you may be able to live without them. 

• Certain features of Adobe Acrobat 6 are not available online; I discuss what they are so you can decide if you need to get the full version.
