A handy feature in Microsoft’s new Office 2007 is the ability to save anything as a PDF.
The tricky part is that it doesn’t come on the CD – you have to download it from Mirosoft.
It is an official Microsoft download – apparently it got separated due to threats from Adobe. Must keep those legal boffins happy…
Once you have downloaded and installed it, making a PDF file is as simple as using the Save As command. There will be an extra option in there for PDF or XPS!
Sending documents as PDF (whether via email or for posting on the web) is much more reliable as just about anyone can install Adobe Reader (if the don’t already have it), whereas not everyone will be able to open your Word/Excel/Publisher file and be able to see it as you do.
