How to Create a PDF in Foxit
Though the PDF document format was created by Adobe for use with their Adobe Acrobat software, other software titles are capable of creating and editing PDF files as well. Foxit PDF Creator was created to provide a low-cost alternative to Adobe Acrobat. Foxit PDF Creator offers many of the same benefits as Acrobat, but due to streamlined programming it may be able to save the PDF files you create up to three times faster.
