Responding to a forum thread about providing online files to clients and my suggestion to use PDF files (over html pages) for their formatting superiority - - - it lead to a Google search of pdf conversion applications for those who do not have Photoshop, Corel Draw or Word Processing Programs that allow for conversion of generated documents.
I came across this pretty cool ONLINE WEB PAGE TO PDF converter that takes any webpage and makes it into a PDF for distribution. All that was required was entering the web page URL (I used my BIO page), a couple of display Options, and an email address to send the converted file to. Once I received the file, I then used my
FLU - File Upload Utility to quickly upload the file to my web server (I have a shortcut to the FLU on my desktop) which also supplied me with the URL of the file to copy and paste into a response or client request for such a document. Here is my BIO page converted to a PDF file (56KB):

THE WEBSITE THAT PROVIDES THIS ONLINE CONVERSION IS:
www.expresspdf.com After going to the Home Page of this website, I also notice that Microsoft Word and Excell documents can be converted online in the same way.Might be useful to some.
