How to Convert Word Document Into PDF Format
Microsoft Word documents can be opened and edited using the Microsoft Word software program or open-source word-processing programs. You may be asked to email somebody a PDF file of the information located in your Word document, such as when submitting a resume and/or cover letter. Instead of adding that information into a newly created PDF file, you can convert the Word document into PDF format. This can be done by downloading a program or using an Internet converter.
