This article included two parts: save Microsoft Word 2007-2010 to PDF & save Microsoft Word 2003 to PDF.
Part one Save Microsoft Word 2007-2010 to PDF I do not know whether you have paid attention to Save As section in Micorosoft Word 2007-2010 or not. From the section, you can see several options: Word Document, Word Template, Word 97-2003 Document, PDF or XPS, Other Formats. Ok, from here, you see, you can save Word to PDF by selecting the PDF or XPS option. If you do not see the “PDF or XPS” option, do not worry. It is because you have not installed Microsoft’s “Save as PDF add-in” yet. Just feel free to download and install it.
Part two Save Microsoft Word 2003 to PDF Because it is an old version of Microsoft Office Suite, Microsoft Word 2003 does not have the Save As PDF option. To save Word 2003 as PDF file, you should turn to third-party apps.

I prefer Google Documents: upload Word to Google Docs and open it. And then navigate to File>Download as>PDF. Bingo! This is how to save Microsoft Word to PDF. After you generate the Word to PDF file, you might
need to edit the PDF file. In Mac OS X, including Lion, Wondershare PDF Editor Pro for Mac is a good choose. In Windows, using Wondershare PDF to Word Converter to convert PDF back to Word
document is not bad. -----------------This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License.
