How to Save a PDF File in a Word Processor
A Portable Document Format (PDF) file works hand-in-hand with word processors. By saving your document as a PDF file, you won't lose your text format when the document is converted. As long as the recipient has a copy of Acrobat Reader, he or she can read your document. You can save PDF files directly from a word processor if it includes a PDF converter or if you've installed a PDF converter onto your computer. You can download a free PDF converter and/or copy of Acrobat Reader online.
