Yes, it is possible to create a PDF file online without using MS Office. There are several online tools available that allow you to create PDF files from scratch or convert other file formats, such as Word or HTML, into PDF format. Here are some examples:

OnlineWordPad.com: This is a free online tool that lets you create a new document and export it as a PDF file.

Google Docs: Google Docs is a popular online document editor that allows you to create and export documents as PDF files. It also has several built-in templates that you can use to create professional-looking documents.

PDFescape: This is a free online PDF editor that allows you to create new PDF files, edit existing ones, and add annotations or form fields.

Smallpdf: Smallpdf is a comprehensive online PDF tool that offers a variety of features, including PDF creation, conversion, editing, and compression.

Among all the above tools personally, I love to use OnlineWordpad.com most of the time for creating PDF documents. You don't need to log in or create your account for creating PDF documents. Simply go to the website and create what you want to create and simply download your file. This is very useful for a quick task.

2. Start typing or pasting your text into the Wordpad Online editor.

If you don't like the above tool then don't worry we have tools as well. You can use google docs as well. Now we will see how to create a PDF document using Google Docs.
