I was wondering if anyone can give me guidance on how to convert a word document into a pdf file. Is there anyway I can do it without installing an extra software. Can it be done with either microsoft word or acrobat?
You need Adobe Acrobat Professional. Once you've installed that theres a menu bit added to your word toolbar, you just click on that and it will convert it for you.
You must have installed Adobe acrobat not only reader, or you must have 3rd party soft/driver installed for it. Mostly it is simply software about 500kB in size. If installed new icon in Microsoft Office products will appear in toolbar. It is also usable like printer driver. Simply said, Go to "Print" function, select PDF priter in pop-list and make it print, yea
I am using PDF Camp 2.1 (great, simply, small - 450kB), but only shareware, if you are not clever .
Actually now you can save your file as .pdf in MS word 2007 easily.
But the converted files always dicard layouts and other things. Recommend you Nemo Word To PDF, it can help convert document files to PDF easily with text, layouts, tables and images preserved accurately. And it also supports batch and partial conversion.
