Acrobat X (10) Pro has a free 30-day trial that's a full version of the product. Adobe invented PDF. It's not worth going with a clone. PM me if you have any questions. I'm ACE certified on Acrobat.

cutepdf.com -- it installs like a printer driver, so you just go into Word, hit print, choose that as your printer, and name where you want to save the file.

Click the Office icon in the upper left corner, move your cursor over "Save As", then choose "PDF or XPS".

Fuck those inferior options. If you want to ensure people with Reader (which is ubiquitous) can open it, fucking go with Acrobat. Jesus.

The PDF printers are the best ones if you're looking for a free alternative and the PDF files work fine. I mean if you had money to blow on Acrobat, by all means don't let any cheapskate convince you otherwise.

He didn't say which version of Word he was using. For all we know he's running Word 2003.

If that's true than all he has to do is use a free online file converter like Zamzar.

Conns is a man of the 21st century. Not only does he have Word, but he also has Excel & Powerpoint.

Go with this. Adobe is overpriced and garbage. If you aren't doing workflow or tracking changes no need for it.

Go to CNET's Download.com and do a search for free PDF printer and choose one that suits your fancy.
