To do this you must have special softwa Adobe Acrobat or one of its
cheaper clones. For links to the latter, see

You need the full version of Acrobat, not the Reader.

You must have Adobe Acrobat, not Adobe Reader. If you have Acrobat, you
should have an Adobe PDF toolbar. If it is not displayed, select it from the
toolbar list. If it is not listed, check to make sure that PDFMaker.dot is
checked in Tools | Templates and Add-ins.

You need a program that creates PDF files from other types of documents.
Adobe Acrobat is the standard of the industry, but it is also rather
expensive if you don't need its full range of capability.

There are other programs that create PDFs, however, and many of them are
considerably less expensive. One of the most frequently mentioned here is
PrimoPDF which is available at:

.... And it's FREE.

U can use Adobe Acrobat or try any other 3rd party software, google: doc to
pdf
Also, in Office 2007 the option to save as PDF is included.

I can edit a .pdf. If it's electronic, it can be changed. Period.

There are more users that use PDF for reading and as a final version of a
document that needs not to be changed. It's practical.

So, the point was not whether it can or cannot be changed but how to save it
in a PDF format. It's not read only, but I'm sure that's not what Maureen
exactly needs.

More users have Adobe Reader only.
For example, for my students it is far better for them that I give them
materials in PDF files. They just open it, read it and print it. There can
not be accidental changes.

Regards
