Save Word To PDF Without A Word PDF Converter

PDF or Portable Document Format is a widely used document format nowadays. It is a file format created by Adobe Systems in 1993 for document exchange. PDF was officially released as an open standard on July 1, 2008.

Microsoft Office applications (Office 2007) now even can work with PDF directly without needing to install any PDF converter. Before this, there is various ways you can convert a Word document to PDF.

You can easily find online tools that help you to convert your document to PDF. But this come the privacy issues - are they keeping you document in their server?

You can also easily download PDF converter freeware easily and install them as a "PDF printer" or use it as a standalone program. But sometime, these programs simply cannot get the actual result that you wanted it to be.

To save your Word document or Excel document as PDF, simply open your document with Microsoft Office. Use the "Save As" option in Microsoft Office menu, choose "PDF or XPS" and save as the filename you want. Make sure you have chosen the PDF as the file type in the save file dialog.

You can use the same method to save your other Office documents to PDF files as well. In case you do not see the "PDF or XPS" option in your Office menu, you will need to download the "2007 Microsoft Office Add-in: Microsoft Save as PDF or XPS" plug-in from Microsoft website.
