With HP wireless printers, you could have printed this from any room in the house. Live wirelessly. Print wirelessly.

My CPA e-mailed me a copy of the quarterly newsletter he sends to his clients, but the attachment didn't look right on my PC. Even worse, he said, some clients couldn't open the file at all. If only he had used one of the new breed of utilities that convert files and documents into Adobe's Portable Document Format so anyone with the Adobe Reader program could have viewed his newsletter as he intended.

Do you only occasionally need to convert a document to PDF? Try a program such as PdfEdit995, which is available free (with banner ads). If you regularly send files that need to be viewable on any kind of system, however, you'll benefit from the added functionality of Xelerate's $50 PowerPDF 2 or Leadtools' $99 EPrint 3.

Think of these programs as printer drivers on steroids. After you install one, it appears as a printer option in any application that supports printing; simply choose the option from the drop-down list in the app's Print dialog box. When you click OK, the program opens a new dialog box that allows you to save your file in PDF form, send it by e-mail, or (of course) just print it.
