Sometimes you may find a need to make a Word document into a PDF file. If you do not have the Add-in for saving the file as a PDF, you’ll need to download it.
- Go to the Office Button and hover over the “Save As” option. You should see a “Find add-ins for other file formats” option if you do not already have the add-in. Click on it.

- Word Help will open. Under the heading “What do you want to do?” click on “install and use the Publish as PDF or XPS add-in from Microsoft.”

- This will drop you down to the section that contains the link you’ll need. Click on the link and it will take you to the Microsoft website to download the add-in.

- Scroll down and look under the “Related Resources” heading. Click on “2007 Microsoft Office Add-in: Microsoft Save as PDF.”

- This will take you to a new webpage. Click Continue.

- Click the Download button on this page. This will again take you to a new webpage that gives instructions on the File Download. If the download does not start after 30 seconds, there is a link called “Start download”; click on it if necessary.
- If the Downloads window does not pop up, go to the Tools menu and click Downloads.
- Open SaveAsPDF.exe to begin installation.

- Follow the instructions on the installer. Check the box to accept the terms then click continue.
