Where can I find the Adobe Acrobat Distiller software on Campus?

Before you submit your thesis or dissertation, you will have to convert it to a PDF document, and you will need Adobe Acrobat Writer to convert your document. Don't confuse Adobe Acrobat Reader with Adobe Acrobat Writer/Distiller. Reader is free, and is found on most computers. Acrobat Writer/Distiller is not free, and is only found on selected computers.

Henderson Library:

The Henderson library has Adobe Acrobat Distiller installed some of the computers in rooms 1300, 1302 and 1308.  These rooms are open to students when classes are not in session.  The schedule is posted on the classroom doors and service desks.

For other locations of the software, please contact the ETD office in the College of Graduate Studies.
