Converting a Word document to PDF

Can anyone tell me how I can convert a word document in to a PDF file to upload to a website. Do I need any expensive software or can it be done FOC?

Cheers

Damo

Re: Converting a Word document to PDF

Yeah, any PDF printer software like the two mentioned above is probably the easiest way to do it.

Re: Converting a Word document to PDF

I thought you could export pdf's straight from word.

Re: Converting a Word document to PDF

I use Open Office. Great software, and can create PDF files from any format file on your computer. I use this now instead of Microsoft Office. Oh, and it's free!

Re: Converting a Word document to PDF

Another question:

I have been asked to maintain and update a website on a weekly basis with a newsletter. I have uploaded the latest one, but for some reason its not visable or showing on the website. Any help is most appreciated.

Cheers

If it's Word 2007, just do Save as PDF.
