Microsoft Word 2007 has the ability to save doc or docx files as PDFs. I had to to do it for an online job application. It's not hard at all. If you have that version of Word, you can do it yourself. Otherwise, any of us who have it could do it for you!

Another thing you could do, is print out the document file, and then scan it back into the computer using a scanner, and save it as a PDF. You'd probably have to do this at a store like FedEX, Kinkos if you only have a flatbed scanner/don't have a scanner at all. That would be cheaper and save you from having to buy software you probably won't use again.

Have you got a tutorial link? That's been part of my frustrationis I have word 7 but I don't have any of the options the help site told me I should have :( it showed this adobe bar thing and my version wasn't showing that so I'd begun to think it was a paid for add on ^^

There's no Adobe bar at all. All you do is:

1)Open document file.
2)Go to the little windows icon where you can get to the save menu.
3)Choose Save As.
4)Pick "PDF or XPS"
5)Enter a name and then click publish.

It will have saved to your main Documents folder. If you can't do it yourself, I can always do it for you! =)

...I have Word 2007 too. The instructions I gave you ARE for Word 2007. Mine is literally called Microsoft Office Word 2007. If you have the same thing, then the instructions I gave should work!

Ok I am so sorry about that. After I typed this I realized I needed to go to bed but apparently I did that without editing in the correction I meant to add. I dropped an entire sentence of context from that post! What I was trying to say was that I did have 2007, but I did not have the add in, which was what allowed the PDF conversion.

How had to go to the Microsoft page, download and add in and POOF it works. Thank you so so so much for your help on this. It did help to have several reassurance that yes my word program should be able to do this, so i jsut poked it until I found out why it wasn't!
