How to create a PDF from Word?
I will like to do a PDF of my Word Resume since I read that it is more
efficient to send them in PDF (let me also ask to the Word uses he Is that true? The article said that it is so that the recipient do not looses the format if he/she does not has the fonts. Is the PDF e-mailing really a good idea?) How to create the PDF? Thanks in advance. |

Yes, it really is true. PDF ensures that the recipient sees the same formatting that you created, while a Word document is subject to many possible problems (not just unavailable fonts; see http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/TextReflow.htm for a more common problem). If you have Word 2007, and it has the latest updates from the Microsoft site, you already have the ability to 'publish' any Word document in PDF; it's on the Save As tab of the Office button menu. If it isn't there yet, you need to download from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...9-A2E79ED87041. If you have Word 2003 or earlier, that requires other software. The easiest is to use an online PDF creator such as http://www.pdfonline.com/convert-pdf/ or http://online.primopdf.com/. Or you can download software to your computer that lets you "print" from Word into a PDF file, such as http://www.primopdf.com/ or http://www.pdf995.com/. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

The difference I've seen is 42K vs 30K and sometimes as low as 18K However, it is less easy for your recipient to play with a .pdf file But, more and more everybody has Adobe installed. just keep to the basic fonts, no reason not to free software Free Primo 3.25 installs as an 'extra' printer Be careful, other pdf printers like to place a little advertising logo in each page! =-=-= If you install on a Win98 machine, you will also need three .dll mfc80.dll msvcr80.dll msvcp80.dll located in...

FWIW, I've been using PrimoPDF for several years now. Love it! And at the
whopping price of $0, how can you go wrong? :-) -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] Tech Editor for "Microsoft Publisher 2007 For Dummies" "Jay Freedman" wrote in message ...

How to create a PDF from Word?
The fact that "it is less easy for your recipient to play with a .pdf file"
is why you send a PDF when you don't want it tampered with (as would be true in the case of a résumé). -- Suzanne S.
