Often we feel the need of converting documents into PDF file or into XPS (XML Paper Specification) Format. Saving file into PDF/XPS format was proposed feature of Microsoft Office 2007 but due to threat of lawsuit from Adobe, Microsoft had removed save to PDF/XPS feature. As a replacement “Save to PDF” & “Save to XPS” Add-on were made available for Office 2007.

  2. Um… I have office 07 and I have this feature enabled…

    Office Button> Save As> 5th option down… Am I just that lucky (or was it one of my many add in’s?)

  3. If the Word document has a background colour, converting it to pdf leaves a white strip down the side. How do I stop this happening

    There needs to be a single button that converts documents to PDF. I tried adding the “publish as PDF” shortcut in the ribbon, but it doesn’t do it.

  5. Great that it converts to PDF ….BUT… the content of the PDF can be selected and copied. How can I create the PDF so when views the user cannot select and copy the content?

  6. Office 2010 at my office has a Tab in Ribbon labeled “Acrobat.” It seemed to have just suddenly appear (or possibly I didn’t notice it before).  That is so much easier to use than to go to Save As, and then scroll down to pdf.

    At home, my Office 2010 does NOT have that Tab and I cannot figure out how to customize my ribbon to have that Tab.  Can you offer any help for this? I need to save Word documents quite often as pdf.
