Converting Word Docs to PDF

Hi,

This post is about converting word documents to PDF .

What is PDF?

Well I know its something to do with portability,basically helps you keep the document structure independent of the software,anyway this is how wikipedia says it -

The Portable Document Format (PDF) is the file format created by Adobe Systems in 1993 for document exchange. PDF is a fixed-layout format used for representing two-dimensional documents in a manner independent of the application software, hardware, and operating system. Each PDF file encapsulates a complete description of a 2-D document (and, with Acrobat 3-D, embedded 3-D documents) that includes the text, fonts, images, and 2-D vector graphics that compose the documents.

Ok I did not get it completely as well.

Anyway back to the crux ,how do we convert Word docs to PDF ?

Get a PDF writer, say CutePDF

You can download it from here : http://www.cutepdf.com/download/CuteWriter.exe

Once you install it ,it automatically lists itself in the printer drop down box in the Print Dialog of the word document(as a matter of fact it lists anywhere in your system which uses the printer).

Screen-Shot :

Now just print it i.e Click OK

Now you would get :

Save it as PDF file and you are set to go.

Hope this helped guys(and KD).
