Converting documents to PDF files

| No TrackBacks

It would be awesome if the computers on Cabell's 2nd fl have a pdf converter (such as doPDF 7, which is free) installed in them. That way we can reduce the need for a hard copy and paper usage.

Thank you Vi for the suggestion. It is worth exploring, especially for saving web pages as pdf. All of the VCU Libraries public computers currently have the ability to save as pdf through Microsoft Office for all Word, PowerPoint, and Excel files. Simply choose "save as" and you will see pdf as one of the options.

In terms of saving paper it is also worth mentioning our digital senders which are located throughout both libraries and give you the ability to easily scan paper copies and send them through email as pdf. The digital senders are part of our suite of scanning services.
