a file to PDF</h1>
<p><a href="index.html">Go up to the main documents page</a> (<a
href="index.md">md</a>)</p>
<p>For some of the lab deliverables, you will need to submit a PDF file.
You can edit this in any editor of your choice, as long as the file that
you submit is a PDF. There are a number of free ways to convert your
file.</p>
<ul>
<li>Use <a href="https://docs.google.com/">Google Docs</a>, or a similar
online document editor, that can export to PDF</li>
<li>Use <a href="http://www.libreoffice.org/">LibreOffice</a>, which is
free software, and is similar to Microsoft Office. To export to a PDF
choose File -&gt; Export As PDF. Both install on Linux, Windows, and Mac
OS X.</li>
<li>You can install a free utility called <a
href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator/">PDFCreator</a>, which
will install a printer entry on your machine that will all you to print
to a PDF file.</li>
<li>You can use free online PDF conversion tools, such as <a
href="http://www.freepdfconvert.com/">Free PDF Convert</a> to convert it
for you</li>
<li>Under Linux, you can print directly to a file - just be sure to
choose PDF as the file format, not PS</li>
</ul>
