Printing to pdf formate

[Ed C]

Must one have Acrobat installed in order to create pdf files from within
Word? I don't find a 'Print to' option for pdf files. What do I need?

Yes. Acrobat or some other kind of PDF Writer. There's a bunch of free ones,
but I'd be careful if you don't want to also download spyware.

PrimoPDF is a safe one. (I use Acrobat but free is a great price.)

 

[Ed C]

Thanks. Assume that also true for other Office apps; i.e. excel, powerpoint,
etc.

Yup. Acrobat is its own application. It doesn't (nor did it ever) come with
MS Office or any other MS Product unless some PC seller bundled it with it.

No.
You /can/ use Adobe Acrobat but you can also use other software:
PrimoPDF, CutePDF, PDF995, OpenOffice[*],...
Google Is Your Friend.


[*] OpenOffice is no PDF converter but a complete office suite à la
Microsoft Office (but free(gratis)/Free(libre)), which has native
support for PDF. So no extra software needed there.
