Save Document Files in a Universal Format.

For Microsoft and Google.

This skill earns no extra credit points.

Not everyone can open Microsoft Office or Google Drive files. Perhaps they use WordPerfect, Appleworks, OpenOffice, or some other suite of productivity applications. To allow everyone to see your work, save them in a universal format: Web page files (.htm/.html) or Acrobat Reader files (.pdf).

Save or Print as .PDF (Portable Document Format)

• In general, you can "print" a file to a .PDF document in Windows, MacOS X, and Google.
• Google also allows you to Download as a .PDF.
• If your application does not have the PDF maker installed, then try installing PDF995 (free).
• Otherwise, use Adobe's free .PDF service , or purchase Adobe Acrobat and install it on your computer.
• Note that PDF files are NOT graphics; they are documents.

Print clean PDF Files then merge them.

Your classmates gave you some helpful feedback. If suitable, incorporate their ideas. At the very least, fix your grammar and spelling.

If your classmates did not give you enough feedback, then use NetTutor's Paper Center to get more specific help (inside Canvas).

To reduce confusion, NetTutor and the Instructor will need one file to review, so print and merge PDF files using the following method.

Print:

1. Install the Print Friendly & PDF Chrome browser extension.
   1. Go to Chrome Settings → More Tools → Extensions
   2. Search for Print Friendly & PDF.
   3. Click the + Add to Chrome button.
2. While looking at the live view of your parent page, click the new icon next to the address bar of the Chrome browser. Hover over items to eliminate from the printed version of your page, such as menus and widgets. Click the items to delete.
3. Click the PDF button to save the new copy of the page to your hard drive.
4. Do the same for each of the pages of your project.

Merge:

1. At PDFMerge! upload each of the Project PDF files (in order) using the Choose File buttons.
2. Save the merged_document.PDF file to your hard drive in the same folder used previously.
   • Change the file name to reflect your name and project name.

Upload the combined file into the Canvas course's NetTutor → Paper Center button. Share the Chapter 3, 4, and 5 instructions with the tutor so they know what to look for.

Check for the tutor's feedback within a day or two. Incorporate changes that make sense.

Save as .HTML (Hypertext Markup Language)

1. Open a Word, PowerPoint, or Excel.
   • File->Save As.
     • For Word, choose Web Page Filtered from the Type list.
     • For PowerPoint, choose Web Page from the Type list.
     • For Excel, choose Web Page from the Type list.
   • Click OK/Save.
2. Navigate to your hard drive where the files were saved.
   • You should see at least one web file (.htm) and a folder with styles, images, and include files.
     • Leave these files exactly as they are.
   • Select and copy the file(s) and folder.
3. Login to your ONID public web server: ftp://onid.orst.edu/public_html.
   • Make a folder just for this project on this server.
     • Paste the new file(s) and folder.
       • This process is called FTP, or File Transfer Protocol. You just made a website!
4. View the new files from your public web server:
   • http://oregonstate.edu/~yourONIDusername/newfoldername/newfilename.
