PDF has become the standard for securely sharing information and those in the legal industry know it well. There are several tools out there in the market, including Adobe Acrobat, that lets you convert documents into PDF, but they vary by price and feature set. DocsCorps’ pdfDesktop won’t break the bank and gets the job done with ease. Here are five ways in which you can quickly create a PDF document using pdfDocs Desktop.
1. Drag and drop any document(s) from a file folder into the pdfDocs Organizer window.

2. Drag and drop document(s) onto the pdfDocs desktop icon.
3. From Microsoft Word, select “Add-Ins >>Save as PDF”

4. From your Document Management System, right click on a document and select PdfDocs Integration >Save As New Document. (You can save it as a new version instead as well.) The document will be saved as a PDF into your DMS.
5. From Windows Explorer or file manager, right click and select print. (You will need to select pdfDocs as your printer.) This will send the document thru the pdfDocs converter and change the document to PDF format and display in the Organizer window.
Creating PDF documents has never been this fun or easy. Your co-workers will want to get in on the fun when they see your smile.

PDF documents have long proven their usefulness in business processes and we’re all used to working with them. But what happens when you need to make an edit and you don’t have access to a source Word file? It usually requires chasing down source files, re-typing in Word, clumsy PDF editing or a combination of the above. However, there is a faster, more effective solution. The pdfDocs OCR tool allows you to convert your pdf documents or scanned articles to editable Word documents within minutes. Here’s how -
1. Select the pdf document you wish to convert from the pdfDocs Organizer, and click the “Word” button on the menu bar.

2. Select the defaults when prompted with the “Publish to Word” dialog box and click “OK”.

3. The pdfDocs OCR tool will process the file and your Word document will open within Microsoft Word in minutes.

I don’t know much about this device or make any endorsement or have any financial interest in it, but it looks extremely cool. If you have ever been involved in scanning a bunch of file folders, you know what a pain it is. This makes it look almost fun!
(Yeah, the music is pretty cheesy… just mute it.)
