Word to PDF?

Hi

I would like to know how to convert a word file into a pdf. I have been looking everywhere and only found commercial software (I need something free).

The only one that i found didn't convert hyper links from the word document to hyper links in the pdf (it just made blue underlined text with no link)...


any suggestions on getting a pdf convertor?

If you have a Mac, you just change your printer to PDF (OS 9), or click on "Save to PDF" from the print dialogue box. From Windows, you should be able to find a free one eventually if you can get aroudn all the "pretend free" stuff. There are quite a few out there...

 

Thanks for the reply

I use windows.

I can't seem to find a good free one (ive been looking for days and downloaded at least 8)...

 

I use this site if i need to convert files.
Zamzar.com

Which basically convert any file to any file.

 

Office 2007 Beta will save files as PDFs. Great suite, I suggest you check it out.

 

http://www.openoffice.org has this function built-in. You can also do it online at http://www.pdfonline.com/ and http://www.expresspdf.com/. Good luck.

 

I use FREEWARE called "CUTEPDF"... it's a nice doc-->pdf converter
Try it !

 

I use Primo PDF.

 

For immediate needs, you can use adobe's website. they have free word-pdf conversion service.

 

I also recommend ghostword ..

 

OpenOffice, check it out. It´s free and really good! (the "Writer" program has this function where you can export a file as pdf)

 

I was never really that fond of Open Office. I always found it ran too slow, especially the PowerPoint clone.

I use cutepdf. www.cutepdf.com

Free and works by you "printing" the document and then selecting CutePDF as the printer . . .then hitting print.

It then converts the file for you.

Id go with http://www.pdfonline.com/ - thats the one i always use!!!

 

That's what i use

 

thanks for the advice:

ok, to sum it up:

CutePDF - does NOT convert the hyperlinks

the two online services - do NOT convert hyperlinks

Ghost write - wont install on my office (and the latest version is about 4 years old...)

Open Office - converts the hyperlinks correctly, BUT messes up my fonts (their verdana looks too big for my ebook)


SO STILL LOOKING .....

 

You sure zach . . I just tested mine with Microsoft word and it works.

I typed in my website and then printed it as a PDF. Now word automatically made it a link and the link works.

edit: typed in www.gazotto.com

It works with URLs, but if you make a hyperlink with alt text like:
www.gazotto.com
but make it say Gazotto instead...

it dosent work.
