Why use PDFs? 

6 Reasons for converting to PDFs
Avoid embarrassment, printing mishaps, and getting docs into the wrong hands.

Everyone has Microsoft Office. If you’ve got a computer, you’ve got Office. All your customers, prospects, clients, co-workers, partners, boss, friends and family all have Office. We certainly can’t contest to that. There are over 400 million MS Office users – but even if the person receiving your Word, Excel or PowerPoint file has Office, there are good reasons to send it in PDF instead. Here are 6 reasons PDF creation is a necessity for any business.

1. Compatibility with any computer. Just because virtually everyone has Word doesn’t mean everyone can see a Word document, and the same goes for Excel and PowerPoint. There are boundaries like PCs vs. Macs, or Windows vs. Linux that often times cause problems when opening Word documents. The beauty of PDFs is that you can open them on any system, even if it was created on a different platform. A PDF created in windows can be viewed on a Mac, and vice versa. Every computer has a PDF reader and if by chance there’s a computer without it, you can download it easily and quickly at http://www.adobe.com/.

Sometimes older versions of Word can not open a document created with newer versions of Word. Newer versions may have formatting tools that older versions don’t have and it may get confused and refuse to open the doc. PDFs are simply the easiest way to ensure compatibility with every computer out there.

2. Display the results of your work, not your work. When you spend hours working on the perfect proposal, brochure or report, you want it to look exactly as you intended – as the end product of your hard work. You don’t want your document to be seen by prospects, clients and customers with table structure lines, picture boxes and text formatting. You also don’t want them to be able to see the tracking in your edits. PDFs basically “print” your document into another document – so it looks exactly the way you want it to look.

3. Print the way you intended. This is especially important for outsourcing your printing to Kinkos or CopyCop or any printer that is not your own. Even though Kinkos probably have virtually every program with every file type available on their machines, problems arise. For one, Kinkos may not have the font you are using, or your formatting can go haywire (this is from personal experience). Don’t waste time and money trying to get your doc to print correctly. PDFs ensure that what you see is what you print.

Tip ZONE 

Use OfficeReady Pro 3.0 to Create Print and Screen PowerPoint Presentations

Every PowerPoint template in OfficeReady Professional 3.0 allow the user to “toggle” – switch back and forth – between print and screen views of a presentation with a single click from the OfficeReady toolbar.

Studies show that many professionals print and hand out hard copies of their PowerPoint presentations so that the audience can jot down notes during a presentation and then take it home for further review. Understanding that graphically rich presentations can quickly drain ink cartridges and place undue stress on color printers, we found that users were either creating an entirely new print version of the same presentation (duplicating work) or limiting the amount of graphics and colors within their presentation (sacrificing quality).

Now, there’s a better solution. The OfficeReady Pro 3.0 toggle feature allows you to create your presentation once – and automatically get a highly graphical screen version and an ink-sensitive print version. Using the toggle feature couldn’t be easier. From the OfficeReady toolbar in PowerPoint, locate the ‘Toggle Screen/Print’ icon and click the button to switch back and forth.

The Toggle Screen/Print button is an extremely useful feature of OfficeReady Pro 3.0 that saves time while simultaneously creating more options for the author of the presentation. OfficeReady Pro 3.0 is a productivity tool – if you want to become more efficient at your desktop while working with the Microsoft Office suite of programs, OfficeReady Pro 3.0 might be just the tool you’ve been waiting for.
