The files CreatePDF can convert PDF files from are:
• MS Word (docx, doc), Excel(xlsx, xls), PowerPoint (pptx, ppt)
• Adobe Illustrator (ai), Photoshop (psd) and InDesign (indd)
• Images — JPEG, BMP, PNG, GIF, TIFF
• RTF, Text and WordPerfect
• OpenOffice and StarOffice documents
The app works by hitting the Share button in iOS, you just send your desired file to CreatePDF and it’ll do all the legwork to create a pretty PDF for you. It costs $10.49, which is expensive, but it’s universal on iPhone and iPad, and spits out quality PDFs. [iTunes via MacStories]

Tuesday, August 30, 2011 at 1:50 PMThere are literally hundreds of 3rd party apps that already do this. Or you can do it by installing a simple “convert to pdf” bookmarklet in mobile Safari.
Javascript bookmarklets are one of the cool things that Jobsy hasn’t blocked in iOS.

Tuesday, August 30, 2011 at 8:07 PM$10 will get them very few sales. How ridiculous. I know their own desktop apps are in the thousands of dollars so they feel they should charge a premium for their iOS app. We all know they are the creators of the PDF format so may feel their’s is the premium version. But seriously, for the app store, it is completely unoriginal and apart from the few people who feel they are getting something better because it is from Adobe, no one will by a $10 app when a $5 or $2 app will do the same thing.
