From the launch of Mac OS X, PDF technology was built directly in to the operating system, under license from Adobe. This meant you could double-click on a PDF on your desktop and open within Preview. It also meant you could create commercial-quality PDF documents from just about any Mac application. This is essential for the Mac as PDF documents are the pre-requisite for sending to a printer for duplication. Problem is that we have to rely on third-party software to create PDF documents on a Windows PC.

With the April 2009 issue of PCW, on-sale right now, you can get the full current version of novaPDF 6 Lite, worth £15. This tool is the 'professional' version of the free doPDF from a company that has had years of experience creating PDF technology. It will enable you to produce a PDF document in a format ready for web download or required for commercial printing.
