PDF (Portable Document Format) is one of the most commonly used formats for files. Usually creating a PDF requires you to have expensive software from Adobe, but thanks to the free tools available online, PDFs can now be easily created and converted without installing any software.

We covered a lot of these tools earlier but another tool that can be added to that list is PDF Generator. PDF Generator is an online, no-nonsense tool that simply lets you convert your .doc, .xls and .ppt files into PDFs. Just upload the file you want to convert and enter your email address. Once the file is converted, you will receive an email with the link to download the file. The file is available for 48 hours after which it will be purged.

The tool would not work if the file is password protected so make sure the documents you upload are unprotected.
