How Do You Create PDF Files From Word?
While there are a few ways that the home computer user can create PDF documents, this article focuses on creating PDFs from Microsoft Word 2007, as well as any other Office 2007 program. As long as you already have these programs, there is no need to spend any extra money on special PDF software. Get Word 2007 or the complete Microsoft Office 2007. If you do not want to pay full price, check eBay for cheaper options, see if you can download a friend’s copy, or purchase one of the less expensive options, such as Microsoft Student and Teacher 2007. Get the add-on. Simply download the PDF add-on from the Microsoft website (I have included the link down in the “Resources” section) and follow the directions. Once you have installed the add-on, you should see it in Word under “File” (the “Office Button” in the top-left corner), then go to “Save As” followed by “PDF or XPS.” On you have clicked on Save As a PDF, proceed to click on “Publish” and your file will be converted/saved to a PDF.
