How to save Microsoft Office Documents in PDF format?
We generally use Adobe Acrobat Professional to create a PDF file or any third party application. The PDF file is a file format developed by Adobe as a means of distributing compact, platform-independent documents. It is superficially similar to HTML; a PDF document may contain images and text, as well as hyperlinks. However, as PDF is based on a variant of PostScript, each document is self-contained, packing text, graphics, and fonts into a single file. With the aid of Adobe Acrobat, many desktop publishing applications can be used to create PDF files. For this reason, and because PDF documents are web accessible, yet display exactly as intended, print publishers often favor PDF over HTML.
Today, while Googling, I found, we can create a PDF file using MS Office Suite 2007 and no need of Adobe Acrobat Professional for the same. You may need to download and install Microsoft Office Add-in to create a PDF file using MS Office Suite. Hope, this will help you.
NOTE:
System Requirements:
Windows Server 2003; Windows Vista; Windows XP Service Pack 2 and MS Office 2007.
