 Lotus 1-2-3 So, I'm not too tech savvy and could use some advice before walking into the local computer store. My boyfriend is a General Contractor and uses Lotus 1-2-3 to do all his estimating work. Lately, he has started emailing prospective clients and current business associates. The problem is that no one else uses Lotus 1-2-3. I have seen some conversion software advertised that claims for $19.95 to convert his Lotus documents to any other (almost) software. What he needs is to not have to switch over to Microsoft but to be able to convert his documents to PDF and email them to anyone regardless of what software they use. Would simply purchasing Adobe Acrobat accomplish this? Thanks in advance for your help!! I really appreciate it!      |

| Wow! Does he have WordPerfect, too? I'm getting a little nostalgic! Is there some reason he doesn't want to switch to Excel? He can use Adobe to print to .pdf, or he could just cut and paste portions of his Lotus spreadsheet into another document. By the way, you don't have to walk into your local computer store at all! You can accomplish everything you need to do by download, and probably for free. |

| If he is using Windows XP then you could get a PDF printer driver. This will let you create PDFs from any program (that has a print function). The one I use is PDF Creator - its free!  |
