Export Excel to PDF for free

I have often been asked this question and I have often wondered myself at times, there are several creative ways you could achieve this:

1.) Print your excel spreadsheet to a multi-function device and scan to PDF, this is often a common feature of these machines.

2.) Steal Adobe Professional from someone or download the full version via a torrent, I don't recommend this as very often this option is either password protected of comes with Malware installed whether you know it or not.

3.) Download a trial version of adobe professional or edit it online, this is probably a good solution if you have a very specific use and will only need a pdf creator for a limited time.

4.) Install primoPDF: http://www.primopdf.com/ This will give you a PDF printer which is very much like my first option.

5.) Download Open Office from OpenOffice.org this software enables you to create PDFs or save files as PDF, it also enables you to open and edit Microsoft Office compiled files and has many addins that give it even more functionality.
