PDFCreator is a small program used to make .pdf (Adobe Acrobat) files from Word and other documents.

Where is PDFCreator on my machine?

Under \Start\Programs\PDFCreator

How do I use it?

Suppose you're in Word and you want to save the current document as a .pdf file. Go to File, Print, then choose PDFCreator from the list of printers. A dialogue box will appear. Choose Save. Choose a place to save the .pdf file. Click Save. A .pdf version of the document will be saved at the location you specified. The method is the same for other programs from which you might want to export .pdf.

Is that all?

Depending on your setup, Adobe Reader might automatically be invoked. You will then be reading your .pdf document.
