i read somewhere (cant remember) that you can make an "uneditable" document similar to a PDF file without having adobe (or any other software).

anyone know how to do this??

I know you said without any other software, but I know of a non-Adobe way...there's a software called WinPDF.

To make a PDF file, one eay way is with one the later versions of WordPerfect or Word. They can create PDF files using PDF Writer which functions as a printer.

Of course the full version of Acrobat can do it in spades, but those main word processors have it on license from Adobe.

Or you can learn about Tex/Latex, and use pdflatex to create your documents....

Miktex a popular Tex/Latex implementation for win32 is free!!
