On my list of ways to save a file nothing is listed as *pdf. What other term is used for that? Am using xp word program. I have a couple of files that need to be in the pdf form. Right now they are saved in word text. One is a picture and one is a word file.

Thanks gang......sigh.

Which Word are you using? Word 2003 required a plug in to save as pdf, while Word 2007 had one included. The plug in was easy (I think it was on the MS website).

~~I was going to suggest Open Office, but a quick check shows it doesn't save as pdfs. Interesting, I thought for sure it did.~~

Turns out OO does; it's at a button at the top and not in the "save as" options.

Word 2003.....

ETA: runs to check....

ETA:...the top of what?......

For Word 2003 you need to download a plugin off the internet. It only takes about a minute.

In Open Office, the "make pdf" button is on the top ribbon of icons, for me it's right next to the print icon.

Thanks....I did download. Now, to see if I can make it work.

Often it's not under "save as" but under something like "export" or "convert to pdf."
