There are many occasions when it would be better to send a document as a PDF. This may be for presentational reasons so that people see your document formatted as you want it to look, or for security reasons so that recipients cannot amend it. PSU customers can now benefit from our free mail2pdf online document conversion service.

By clicking the button below, your e mail program will be launched and a new mail created. Attach a document to the mail (in Outlook it's the paper clip button on the menu bar) then press [SEND]. Within a few minutes you will receive an e mail back with the converted document attached.

Please note: As this is a mail2pdf demo, the document you receive back will be watermarked. Registered customers are issued with their own unique e mail address which they can send documents to for conversion as many times as they want.

PDF or Portable Document Format is a widely used file format originally developed by Adobe. This format has become the industry standard for publishing documents on the web and for the creation and distribution of visually rich documentation through email and company networks. PDF readers usually come bundled with a new PC or are freely available on the internet.

• Presentation - There is no doubt about it; PDF has visual impact particularly when graphics are included. Click here to see a sample of a Word document (85KB) converted to a PDF document (32KB).
