How To: Enable PDF Support in Office 2007
January 21st, 2008 by SysAdmin
There may come a time when you need to save your work to a file format that’s easy to print or share. A perfect example of this is when you need to create a document that’s only going to be read or printed such as a newsletter or resume.
The ideal file format in this kind of scenario is a PDF (Portable Document Format). Thankfully Office 2007 has a free add-in that allows you to save Office files as a PDF.
Download: 2007 Microsoft Office Add-in: Microsoft Save as PDF or XPS
Once you’ve installed the add-in you’ll be able to save your documents as a PDF. You can save to PDF from almost any Office 2007 application but for this tutorial I will explain how to publish a Word 2007 document as a PDF.
How to save to PDF in Word 2007
- Open the Word Document that you want to publish as a PDF
- Click the Microsoft Office Button which is in the top left hand corner of Word 2007
- Hover your mouse arrow over Save As
- Under Save a copy of the document click PDF or XPS
- In the Save as type: drop down list. Select PDF (*.pdf)
- Depending on how you want the quality of the file select either Standard (publishing online and printing) or Minimum size (publishing online)
- Click Publish
*Note: To open the newly saved file you will need software installed on your computer that can view PDFs. I suggest using Acrobat Reader or Foxit PDF Reader
