just wondering if anyone can instruct me as to how i would pdf a document (just for general knowledge, but also for any med secondaries).

From Word... how do I save or convert to PDF?

You need a separate application to do it, I believe. Or maybe it is an expensive Adobe plug-in to Word or something?

The easiest way is to google "free pdf creator." Download one of the free utilities and install it. It will usuall add a pseudo printer to your printers list. Go back to Word, choose print, and then select whatever one is your pdf creator. It will digitally "print" a pdf to whatever hard drive location you select.

I like Primo for Windows, but OP needed one for Mac. OP came back and changed post #2 from "I can't find one for a Mac" to "gret thanks!" - which I think is German for "You are the best."

You don't need a plug-in for the mac. You can print directly to pdf with word.

Yea..mac is cake. I also have adobe acrobat pro which I got from my school for about 30 bucks. I use it a lot though....type writer features, highlighting, all the stupid features are really nice.

OpenOffice.org also prints directly to PDF and is a (free) MS Office replacement available for most platforms - Windows, Mac, Linux, BSD, etc...

You can also get Adobe Acrobat professional which will let you convert *.doc to *.pdf or you can get Office 2007 which will let you download a plugin for Word to do the same.

I have a mac and I was having trouble converting word to pdf with adobe (I had both portrait and landscape pages and adobe saved them separately). I used expresspdf.com.....it's free and will convert larger documents than some of the other free ones.

I'll take it.

Office 2007 (word) can do it. You need to download a free patch from microsoft and it will convert word to pdf.

why do you need to convert to .pdf for secondaries?
