Simple Way to Create PDF File for Free from Text

Any help much appreciated, pretty much a newbie at forums, so pls be kind.

Trying to enter the Chilling Pen Award competition which requires pdf submission by midnight.

Have created the file in word
Have tried a number of free pdf softwares but they don't save unless you upgrade to paid.

Can anyone suggest a simple free way to create and save a pdf file?

TIA

    What's the word count requirement? Not too late to get ChatGPT to write me an entry…

      In the realm of words, Austriabargain stands,
      With an essay in hand, on distant sands.
      A quest for knowledge, a yearning so fine,
      But the word count lingers, an elusive sign.

      Austriabargain ponders, with furrowed brow,
      How many words to capture thoughts, somehow?
      In the essay competition's vast domain,
      The count of words, a mystifying chain.

      With pen in hand and thoughts to explore,
      Austriabargain seeks the answer, implores.
      Each sentence crafted, with care and precision,
      Words dancing on paper, a written decision.

      Is it a thousand, or two, or even more?
      The word count's mystery, Austriabargain implores.
      In the quest for knowledge, the essay's grace,
      The count of words, like a hidden embrace.

      But fear not, dear Austriabargain, for you'll see,
      The word count's limit, a key to set you free.
      In the end, it's not just numbers that define,
      Your essay's brilliance, its soul, its design.

  • Check out:
    https://www.pdfforge.org/pdfcreator

    You can print to PDF, PNG and a bunch of other formats in the free version. I have used it for the last 15+ years and never paid a $ for it.

  • Word should be able to do it.

    Alternatively you can get the free and open source LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/

    In LibreOffice Writer: Click File —> Export As —> Export as PDF

    pdf file sounds so seedy. The F already means "file". How to create a pdf file, probably get them into lolita genre anime?

    • P = Portable
      D = Document
      F = Format

      No redundancy at all :D

  • In Chrome browser, open new tab, drop the notepad file to it then print with Save as PDF.
