How to Create PDFs From Microsoft Word With Solid Converter PDF

When Adobe introduced PDF files, people breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, you could send and receive files in a format that everyone could read with the free downloaded Acrobat Reader. One downside was that you could only convert your work to PDF by buying the expensive Acrobat program. Enter Solid Converter PDF, an affordable program that allows you to create PDFs from Microsoft Word.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Install Solid Converter PDF from the Solid Documents website. You can choose between the Standard and Professional options. The Professional version brings more tools and allows you to work in more programs.

2. Realize that the quickest way to create PDFs from Word is by using the Solid Converter plug-in. The program will place a "Create PDF" button on your toolbar in Word. If you can't see it, try going to "View" and clicking "Toolbars." Make certain there is a checkbox next to "Solid Converter PDF."

3. Open the file in Word that you want to turn into a PDF. When you are finished with the document, click the "Create PDF" button on your tool bar. A pop-up box opens that allows you to name and save your PDF.
