KoolWIRE: Yet another way to convert docs to PDF
The service is free, and KoolWire can convert Word (.doc), Powerpoint (.ppt), Excel (.xls), Jpeg, GIF, Rich Text Format (.rtf), and text (.txt) files to PDF. It does a pretty good job with files that don't make heavy use of graphics. But when we took a quick screenshot of Download Squad, added it to a Word Document and uploaded it, the result came back a bit truncated.
You can do the same thing by uploading files to free file conversion service Zamzar, or for some documents, you can use the free Google Docs & Spreadsheets. Still, it's nice to have options.

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

Cutting and pasting html pages into a word file is always a risk if you want to convert to PDF. Had you "printed" to PDF the same file, chances are you would have got the same "trucated" result.
As for the size...I tried it with a 20MB ppt file and worked just great.

I've tried it and got faster and better results than with using latest Adobe Acrobat 8 Prof. Supports accented letters, word styles - creates bookmarks, underlines links within document (like in TOC) etc. Great service!
