Can't convert office docs to pdf??

[aviendah_AK]

I am using Office 2003 and for some reason I am not able to convert to PDFs
anymore? It acts like it converts it, asks where to save it (I put it on the
desktop for now), but it only saves a Word file. No PDF? I checked and there
are no disabled items, any other ideas??

Thanks

You need to have a third party printer utility like adobe (de facto standard)
or alternatives. I usually recommend bullzip (http://www.bullzip.com).

Did you use any third party software before? You say "I checked and there
are no disabled items". Did you expect anything to be there?

That one-time street girl <"JoAnn Paules" <[email protected]> will
say you are dodgy and you are using a dodgy software. And I am very good at
starting a riot in an empty room!

well, are you speaking
of office 03 or 07?

in 07, there is a built
in pdf printer.

but in 03, you would
have to use a third
party pdf maker.

you could use it in
07 as well.

cute pdf, primo pdf
to name a few are
free pdf makers.

To my knowledge there is no third party software. It is part of Office 2003.
This is different than the PDF printer, I also have Office 2007 on a
different computer and am familiar with the PDF printer. I believe it is an
Add-In. I have always been able to do this before using the Adobe icon in MS
Word and Excel or the Acrobat tab at the top - "convert to Adobe PDF". That
is why I thought something might have been disabled, because it was just
working las week. I have had updates disable the Adobe Add-In before and had
to go in and enable it again, but that's not the case with this one. It all
appears like normal, it just doesn't save the PDF, or if it does I can't find
it??

If you have Adobe on the toolbar you have Adobe Acrobat program in addition
to your Office 2003 program suite. You should still have a printer
installed labeled Adobe PDF or something similar. You can print to that
driver to create your PDF file until you get the PDF add-in in Office to
work. Since this is Adobe's and your problem you need to post the questions
in Adobe's forum using the version of Adobe you have installed.

it's better to print
to pdf than to use
the add-in.

-------------

you may simply have
to reinstall adobe

or look at the add-ins
dialog window to see
if you can fix the add-in.

also, ensure macros
are not disabled.

If you have that button, then you have a third party app - Acrobat. Office
2003 does not have .pdf capabilities.
