Creating PDF Documents
This chapter provides information about how to use the Acrobat SDK to create PDF 
documents.
This chapter consists of the following sections:
Creating PDF Documents with Acrobat
There are several ways that you can create PDF documents using software distributed as 
part of the Acrobat product.
Acrobat PDFMaker
Files created in many applications can be converted directly to Adobe PDF files without 
leaving the authoring application. The authoring application uses PDFMaker for the 
conversion and the resulting files are Adobe PDF files.
In Windows, the default Acrobat installation installs the PDFMaker feature for the following 
third-party applications:
Autodesk AutoCAD 2002, 2004, and 2005
Microsoft Access 2000, 2002, and 2003
Microsoft Excel 2000, 2002, and 2003
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0
Microsoft Outlook 2000, 2002, and 2003
Microsoft PowerPoint 2000, 2002, and 2003
Microsoft Publisher 2002 and 2003
Microsoft Project 2000, 2002, and 2003
Microsoft Visio 2000, 2002, and 2003
