Try there . I use the e-book converter there and it works a charm

Thank you! I'll give that a try when I get home :)

erk, sadly all the files are too large :(
I can make them smaller but I will have to piece them back together, which I think I'd rather reserve for last resort.

I wouldn't consider you having a $60 document converter a personal profit. It's the cost of doing this project.

I know the latest version of word has an automatic word to PDF converter built in, so it is not like you are getting a fancy schmancy piece of software that most of the rest of the world does not have.

Thank you for the support :)

It does seem though that I should be able to use a free version, so I'll check in on that first :)

can't you just print to PDF? (print command, choose pdf lower left corner)

ani_bester April 28 2011, 14:55:54 UTC

Not so far as I can tell. PDF isn't an option and when I went to the online tutorials my word didn't have the spiffy adobe bar all the tutorials told me to use :(

ani_bester April 30 2011, 14:28:42 UTC

AHA! I found the culprit. I'd never downloaded an add on to the Word 2007 and it was that add on that allowed PDF saving. So it's all saved as a PDF format and I am much much happier :)

Thank you so much for the help!

I have Acrobat Pro, if it needs any work after that export. I'll be glad to help. [username] at geeemale

*nods* I may take you up on that if for no other reason than my unfamiliairty with the program my be an issue (such as doing such mysterious deeds as embedding fonts ^^)

I will see how things look after I go through the awesome suggestions here and see what happens. :)

Ditto on Microsoft Word having Word-to-PDF built in - no need to buy a fancy program, just get someone with Word to print to PDF as described above.

ani_bester April 28 2011, 16:01:21 UTC

*nods* If I can't get this worked out on my own, I will certainly be contacting someone because it does seem there are many many free options :)

Thank you so much for the respons!
