Fast PDF is a web-based service that converts Microsoft Word documents to (virus-free) PDF files.

Fast PDF was created by a team of small business owners - two entrepreneurs that needed a better way to send out important documents (contracts, purchase orders, invoices, ...) in a universal, read-only, printer friendly format.

It turned out that others we talked to needed the same kind of service. The result was Fast PDF. We hope it solves your needs too!
