Converting Word documents to PDF is helpful if you want to share and protect documents. Later editions of Microsoft Word come equipped with a “Save as PDF” tool, but with Word 2003, you must have a PDF conversion program. The official program for conversion is Adobe Acrobat, but this is an expensive method. There are many freeware programs for PDF conversion. As of Oct 2010, Cnet states that the leader in PDF software conversion in Windows is Primo PDF, which is a free download. Another option is to use online solutions that enable you to create PDFs without installing any software. Adobe PDF Online offers a monthly subscription service and there are many free services, like Primo PDF and Free Email PDF Converter. These are compatible with Windows and Mac documents. Writer Bio
