    pdf format

    how do you save a word document in a pdf format [adobe]? I noticed that MS Word used to have a link to do that, but it doesn't anymore.

    I had to buy Adobe software to do this for my business. It cost me $299.00

    There are other ways to do it (for free).

    Try CutePDF

    I use a little piece of freeware called CutePDF, available at http://www.cutepdf.com/. It installs as a printer, so you simply print your document to the CutePDF printer queue, it'll ask you for a filename, and give you a nice PDF file. If all you need are quick PDFs, this works great. If you need more flexibility (forms, etc), there is a $50 version that does more.

    Adobe has an online service for $9.99 a month (or $99/yr): http://createpdf.adobe.com/. They've also got a printer driver solution for a fee, and the Adobe Acrobat several-hundred-dollar product range.

    I've used CutePDF and it works great. I don't need any fancy features -- all I need is a document to share with people that don't have whatever software I'm using to give them the native format printout.

    Hope this helps,

    Try WordPerfect Version 12. It reads and creates .pdf formatted files. It came with my HP instead of Microsoft Word. I couldn't be happier.

    Yes, the latter. It pops up an ad every time you do a conversion, but it works great. It definitely isn't spyware or anything.

    What version of Word?

    If you have Word 2007, you can save as .pdf file directly.
