Microsoft Word's built-in PDF converter is generally very good, but always be sure to double-check for formatting changes in your PDF document, and especially check any graphics, illustrations, and tables that were part of your document to make sure they converted properly. You can check whether or not the file converted correctly by opening the PDF file with Adobe Reader and reviewing its contents. Then name your file and pay attention to where you are saving it. Next to 'Save as type:', select 'PDF (*.pdf)'. In Word 2013, you will also need to click the 'Browse' button on the 'Save As' screen.
Open your Word Document, and click the 'File' Button in the upper left corner.Ĭlick the 'Save As' button. Converting a Microsoft Word document to PDF format is very easy - beginning with Word 2010, Microsoft has included a free PDF conversion tool which allows you to save your documents in PDF format.
