Is SPEAR recommending a particular software product?
No, organisations have different needs. Any software that can create a PDF document that meets SPEAR requirements may be used (refer Applicant created documents in SPEAR – Tech Note 4 for more information). • How do these products work? Generally, these products operate by allowing the subscriber to print a given document to a printer with a name such as Adobe PDF. The PDF product will prompt for the name of a file and will write the document to that file in PDF format. Refer to Instructions for creating PDF documents for basic instructions on PDF creation from Word Documents.
