converting word document into pdf file

how to convert word document into pdf format?

[Ecstacy]

Hello there,

Would anybody tell me how to convert a microsoft word document into PDF format.

If there is any utility which will convert the document into pdf format.

I'll be highly obliged to get this information from someone.

Adobe offers a conversion service right on their site. You can also try pdf995.com I believe both services have a free trial program for your first five conversions. Then they offer a subscription service that is $9.95 per month. They both will take your Word doc and turn it into a PDF.

If you are looking to buy the actual software, it is Adobe Acrobat (the full version, not the free Adobe Acrobat Reader) that will do it.

There are free pdf printer drivers out there, that act as printer and prints any file into a pdf document, images and all, sticky mail me if your interested.

Actually there is a completely free version of pdf995 (which is supported by showing adverts in your browser whenever you use it).

It installs itself as a printer and generally seems quite good.

My only grumble is that neither Adobe PDF online or pdf995 can handle converting a Word table of contents into active links in the pdf.

activepdf.com can, but its a much more serious piece of kit intended for installation on a server.

What about pdf factory - $49.95 or $99.95 for the pro version (which has support for urls and other stuffs)

Hi Ecstacy,

Another suggestion - If you go to download.com and enter something like 'word to pdf' in the search box (and choosing the download section from the drop-down box next to it), you'll find quite a number of freeware and shareware utilities to try. Most of them have reviews as well.

Good luck,

download.com's search is the worst ive ever seen... but thats the right idea to go there

Acrobat puts a little button in Word that will convert to PDF, assuming you have Acrobat....
