Re: Generating PDF files for upload Lesley Zajac 23 Apr 2009 10:22 EST
Clarification: I should have noted that we use Word to create the original files and then, as Bob said, divide into the required parts and print to PDF using CutePDFWriter to actually create the PDFs. I did not mean to imply that we used CutePDFWriter to create the files. Sorry if I confused anyone. Lesley S.

Also, Grants.gov has a list of options http://www.grants.gov/help/download_software.jsp#pdf_conversion_programs Many people here just use Word to create the original files. Then divide up if necessary, then print to .pdf. I suspect few people are using Adobe Acrobat/Professional to make the needed files.
