You can also convert your document into a PDF by using a CutePDF Writer. All computers here at the University of Agder have a virtual printer - CutePDF - installed. When you have opened your document in Word, select the CutePDF in the list of printer choices and click “print”. The file is then converted into a PDF. Choose a location to save the PDF, and when you are about to hand in your thesis in Fronter, upload the file from the is location. CutePDF Writer is a software program which can be downloaded for free.
How can I hide the name of the author if the examination is set up to be anonymous?
When you choose PDF as file format, you can remove the name of the author (if it shows) before saving your file.
