Can’t Create a PDF from Word 2007 »

Creating PDF files with Word 2007

Microsoft Word 2007 works very differently than earlier versions of Word and those differences also affect Acrobat. Today, let’s take a look at the basic method for making PDF files from Word 2007.

  • First, open a document in Microsoft Word
  • On the top right Word menu click on Acrobat
  • Here we have all the main PDF options like Create PDF and Acrobat Comments
  • To make a PDF simply click Create PDF
  • On the save menu, you have options for Fully Functional PDF and Quick and Simple PDF. The first option converts the document to PDF while retaining the document’s underlying structure. The second option produces a basic, barebones PDF.
  • Chose a PDF type and then click Save to create your new file

  1. I am trying to create a form in Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional, I am new to Acrobat. I have created forms in forms design and that worked out OK, but now I am trying to create a form letter. It is a document that requires readers to fill in information. I am not sure how to go about this. Do I create it in word and save in PDF or do I create in Acrobat? Please help.

    You probably want to make the basic document in Word first, then convert to PDF and add the form fields.
