Quick Tip: Saving Documents as PDF in Office 2007 and Office 2010

 

IT Staff

 

This may be old news for many, but a tip worth reviewing is that Microsoft Office 2007 has a great feature that gives the user the option to save a file as a PDF.  Very useful if you need to email a new or existing file to someone that does not have a compatible version of Word, Excel, etc.  The recipient only needs the free Adobe Reader or another PDF viewer to read your file. 

To use the Save As PDF feature in Office 2007, you need to first install the add-in from Microsoft's Download Center.  You can find it quickly by searching "PDF Word 2007 add-in" on either Bing or Google, or use this shortcut to the link:

 

 

After installing the add-in, you simply click on the "Save As" tab within an Office 2007 application and then click on Save As a PDF or XPS file. Name the file as desired and save to the desired folder location.

Save As PDF is a built-in feature in Microsoft Office 2010 from initial installation of the suite.

We hope you find the Save As PDF feature useful while moving through your daily workload.
