Can I convert a word document to pdf via email?
John from Brooklyn writes in:
I need to look like I have a staff. I want to email a word document somewhere and have it send me back a pdf. It would be helpful if it can go the other way or do some other conversions as well. Hows about it Admin? Any free services?
Hey John,
We got a bunch of geeky goodness for you! We just discovered exactly what you are looking for from our new found friends at HackNMod.com. By sending a file to one of these KoolWire addresses below you will get back a converted file. There are some file size limitations but for small crap on the go – you should be golden. The website is in Italian but that shouldn’t bother you much if you are just emailing them your documents for conversion. I wouldn’t advise uploading any confidential information though – you never know who is on the other end of that server!
- iPhone@pdfonline.com—Converts any attached
Microsoft Visio or Word file (including the 2007/.docx kind) to PDF
files, and supports multiple file attachments. Ignore the “iphone” in
the address, as it works from any device or computer, but only supports
files up to 1 MB in size. - pdf@koolwire.com—Converts
Microsoft Word, Excel or PowerPoint files to PDFs. Like the other
Koolwire addresses below, it accepts files up to 10 MB in size. - doc@koolwire.com—Convert PDFs to Word or Rich Text Format files.
- mp3@koolwire.com—Convert WAV files to MP3s.
- wav@koolwire.com—Convert MP3s to WAV files.
Do you guys have other ways of doing this? Let us know in the comments!

I use CutePDF printer, it installs itself as a local printer, and prints anything as a pdf file.

I like PrimoPDF. You install it, it acts like a printer. Anything you can print to a "real" printer, you can turn into a PDF, not just Word docs. And no emailing! Instant gratification! They now offer an online version, if you really, really, really can't be bothered to install something. Check it out here: http://www.primopdf.com/. “>http://www.primopdf.com/.

I personally use PDFCreator (http://www.bauer-power.net/2007/05/printing-to-pd…“>which “>http://www.bauer-power.net/2007/05/printing-to-pd…which is a free open source application that acts like a virtual printer. When you print to it, instead of paper coming out, you are prompted for where you want to save your handy PDF document.

Why not use Open Office, you can export to pdf without having to go through all that.
