How do you convert a word document to a PDF file?

If you're using Word 2007 then there's a free add in. You can download
through the link in the Save As menu.

On earlier versions you'll need some other software.


Adobe Acrobat will work and retain links etc. but you have to buy it.

You can get free programs:

Don't think that will keep thinks like hyperlinks and bookmarks though.
Most of the free ones are basically printers that print to a pdf file.

You can use pdfcreator with this:

To retain links in contents etc.


If using 2007 then the Microsoft add in is by far the best bet though!

If you simply want your print output to be a PDF instead of actual paper,
Cute PDF Writer is a great little free program.
