Virtual Printer Method
You may also convert a file while you have it opened in its original program. Go to the print menu in that program and change the active printer to PDF Architect. When you print the file, you will be prompted to name it and choose its location. Your file will be converted into a PDF.
The Desktop Application also provides quick option to convert any file without even opening a program. Go to the file on your computer, then right click on it. In PDF Architect option you will see Convert to PDF. When you choose this option the file will convert and open up in PDF Architect.
