PDF files are widely used due to the security and relatively small size they offer. Most computer users would prefer to work with PDF documents and transfer their work in that format. The data in Word, Excel, and other documents can often be easily copied and modified. With PDF files however, things becomes a little harder.

Today we walk you through the process of creating/converting and unlocking protected PDF documents. After reading this simple manual and using the tools described below, you too will be able to generate your own PDF files and share them.

Creating/Converting PDF files

There are many ways to create a PDF file out of a document of some other format. The most common procedure used is to install something that will work as a printer, printing your files as PDF documents. Some paid programs add options to your Explorer context menus to convert the file into PDF directly; an example of this is Adobe Acrobat Pro.

While those options are completely fine and viable, if you are looking for a free PDF creation procedure without having to install anything, then what you need is Create PDF Online.

With this free website all you have to do is upload your document or image and provide an email address. When the PDF is successfully created, you are sent a notification email and a URL to download the file from.

A great thing about Create PDF Online is that it does not place any watermarks on the generated PDF, differentiating this service from most other free PDF creating options.

However there is one drawback to PDF creation/conversion from this site; the resultant file is protected with the Print option disabled. To generate unprotected and printable PDF documents, use PDF Converter.

This free site provides the same facilities as Create PDF Online although the emailing function does not always work and often you need to download the file off their site.

Therefore you can use the former site for generating locked PDFs and the latter site for unprotected PDFs.

Unlocking PDF Files

Often PDF documents are locked to disable printing and modification options. In some cases this is wise but in other cases it can prove to be a nuisance. To unlock a PDF file which has the printing and modifications options disabled, the best online tool is FreeMyPDF.

The process is extremely simple: just browse over to your PDF document and upload it. The maximum size of the PDF being uploaded can be 7MB. Also keep in mind that this service only works on file which do not require a password to be viewed; for those file, providing a password is essential even if all you want to do is read the inside content.

Using the abovementioned sites, you will be able to work with PDF files the way you want to, more effectively.
