If you specify more than one document then all the documents specified will be placed into the one PDF that is created. The first document will appear in the PDF followed by the next one appended to the end and so on.

You must select a PDF Filename. This will be the name of the file that is returned to you in an e-mail. The converter will place the .pdf extension on the end of the name for you so you do not need to put it in the filename.

After you have selected the document(s) you want to convert to PDF then select submit and not next. This will submit the document(s) for conversion. You will receive and e-mail back with the converted document(s) within approximately 10 minutes. The time for the conversion can depend on how many people are using the service.

Note the next time you connect to the PDF converter you will be taken straight to the documents page. All previous settings that you have set will be in effect.
