How to Convert Word to PDF
Do you often need to distribute your Microsoft Office files as PDF documents? Depending on which version of Office you have, there are several ways to save your document as PDF. For example, for Office 2007, you can save files as PDF using a Microsoft add-in called Save As PDF or XPS.
This add-in creates PDF files for files in Access, Excel, InfoPath, OneNote, PowerPoint, Publisher, Visio, and Word. The functionality in this add-in was added to Office 2010 as a built-in feature. In Office 2013 and 2016, the feature is also built-in, but accessible via the Export option.
This post shows you how to install and use Save as PDF or XPS to create a PDF file from Word 2007. We'll also show you how to use the built-in Save as PDF feature in Word 2010.
