@elif
You can create a new Word file and copy the text and photos into that file and then print it as a PDF file using a utility such as CutePDF.
CutePDF Writer - Create PDFs from any application that can print.

I use advanced word to pdf 5.0,it is pretty good.convert word files to pdf Documents,Converted quality is fairly good: with text content, page layouts, images,and text hyperlinks preserved.I chose it because it is a standalone application, I could run this program independently and needn't extra install Microsoft Office or Adobe Acrobat which costs hundreds of dollars.

This comment is geared for developers, not end-users. We need to print PDF document programmatically without the use of any other plugins or programs (such as Open Office, Adobe Acrobat or MS Word). We're looking into jWordConvert, a library that can convert Word documents to PDF.

We created a 17 page document into PDF with Adobe and uploaded to a site. This was excellent when we did that, however few days later we discovered an error but couldn't retrieve original word file in our PC, so either we had to rewrite all 17 pages again or find a way to convert PDF to word
and remove the error. Latter turned out to be excellent. what I liked best about http://www.ConvertToWord.com/ was that

1) Its online 24�7
2) It has manual support, which is great for quality because we always face some problem or other converting correctly � though problems are trivial but timely help is awesome.
3) costs just a few cents, works out much cheaper than even Free sites
4) Paid sites so its safe & secure � free from viruses and malwares etc rampant these days
5) Instant and we pay as we use � works out to be very affordable

Adobe Acrobat will cost me a lot,so ,i think, the best way to convert a word.doc file to pdf format is using pdf converter.Last week,a friend recommend Advanced word to pdf 5.0 to me,I am quite satisfied with it.It is very good in preserving the formatting. It also allow us to convert a lot files at the same time.

I have a Word 97 document in which I have added a color background to the pages. However, when I convert this document to a .pdf using Adobe Acrobat 8, the color background doesn't print in the .pdf. (I have made the necessary adjustments in Word to print the background using a traditional printer.)

What is the solution to this problem?

Thanks for your help!

eWriter Pro (http://sharecash.org/download.php?id=93084) was a win-win for me. Lightweight (at 12MB) for an eBook creation application, this utility is PACKED with value and truly FREEWARE.

Sporting a highly-intuitive GUI (Graphical User Interface), You're able to create both eBooks and articles. But this is the simplest of choices, as the eWriter Pro has an amazing navigation system for both document formats.

On the FILE tab, you're able to save your .doc or .rtf (rich text format) file to PDF format easily.

The DOCUMENT tab lets you insert information into the Properties box (just like Word�), choose your viewing preferences, gives you pertinent information (no. of pgs., no. of lines/characters/words) on the document and has a section for editing (find/replace function), a clipboard function, and a spell check function.

The STYLE tab is as fully-featured as any word
processor program to-date; allowing you to choose fonts and manipulate their properties and colors, text background color and alignment manipulation, and control of paragraphs, tabs, images, headers/footers, and framing of the text.

Lastly, the INSERT tab lets you control placement of images, text frames, hyperlinks, page breaks, headers/footers, and page numbers as well as manipulate those elements mentioned prior. Incredible. Do you realize there are PAID softwares that don't give you this control of PDF creation?!?

For all this incredible value, the ONLY drawback I can find is that the hyperlinks MUST be inserted manually one-by-one (which makes for a GIANT pain in the bum if you have a document that has multiple hyperlinks spanning its' length), but this is miniscule compared to the comfort you'll have in knowing that those hyperlinks are indelibly embedded into your PDF.

Making that Master Resale Rights template a breeze to create in under five minutes. I look forward to this drawback being amended soon (and right now the second version is available, so, we'll see if that has, in fact, been added).

All-in-all, this is the most robust freeware that I've found that has everything that lets it compete with Adobe� for PDF creation, while leaving ALL other competitors choking on road fumes. THIS REALLY WORKS!!!!!!

Turns out if you get Office 2007, you are all set. For both converting to PDF (via save as feature) and also converting from PDF to Word!!! I just found this out today and I've been using 2007 for a while. Here's how to do it:
1) Save as pdf - there's actually an add-in from Microsoft here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=4D951911-3E7E-4AE6-B059-A2E79ED87041&displaylang=en
or go to the download site and search for: Microsoft Save as PDF or XPS

2) Converting PDF to word doc. Right click a PDF file and choose "open with" then select Word 2007 (sorry doesn't work in 2003). Now the first time you do this, it will install a converter in the typical way that office installs components that are not already installed (you will need access to the original CD or network install source unless the install files were cached locally during installation). Here's the interesting tidbit, Word is just installing the SolidPDFConverter program (which indicates that MS bought a license for this program and incorporated the feature into Office software). Why would I say such a thing, because the installer box says as much during the install "Installing SolidPDF Converter..."

That's it. Upgrade to 2007 and you'd be all set I think. It may only come with a particular flavor. I've used the converter both ways in "Office 2007 Pro" and "Office 2007 Enterprise". Anyone have a software matrix and could say what other 2007 flavors support this feature?

I use pdf995 for years; it is technically a printer driver - you will be prompted for a file name to save to. If you don't want to pay the license of US$ 9,95, you will get a nag screen in your browser. So far, I didn't do things I could not convert nicely this way. If your program can print, you can use the "printer" pdf995 - that's all. It may be Windows only, though.

Leo...I read your article, even visited the site you mentioned...Open Office...a lot of the comments attached to your article pertained to difficulties converting a Word document to a PDF. Here is the SOLUTION...
1. Open Up Word;
2. Click on "Help" in Word;
3. Click on "About Microsoft Word";
4. Click on "Disabled Items";
You will see..."The items listed below were disabled because they prevented Word from functioning correctly";
5. You will see a notice - "Adobe PDF Was Disabled";
6. Highlight that statement;
7. Click "Enable".
8. Click "Close."
PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU WILL SEE A COMMENT - "You may have to start Word to enable these changes."

If you follow the above INSTRUCTIONS....you should not have any problems at all. It only took me hours and hours to figure out why my Word was not converting to a PDF, wherein Excel was giving me no problem at all. THE PROBLEM IS IN THE SETTINGS I HAVE DESCRIBED ABOVE IN WORD AND NO WHERE ELSE....GOOD LUCK EVERYONE !!!!!

I need to convert a Word 2000 manuscript into a PDF file to send to a publisher. They only accept documents created in Word so changing to a different document program is out of the question. I have been researching articles on this for the last couple of weeks and can't find anything that will work unless I have to pay a fee to install something else on my computer. According to something I printed out during a Google search there should be an Acrobat menu bar as well as Acrobat icons in my MS Word program. They do not exist. So it also gave me the option of selecting Adobe PDF through my printer window however there is no setting for that either. So I am stuck wondering what to do now. I have Adobe 5.0 on my computer as well as Acrobat 8.1.2 I am using Windows XP pro editon on my computer. Can anyone help me with this? I am willing to try whatever suggestion you can make as I have spent hours on this already. Is my best bet just to go with the subscription service "create Adobe PDF online?" Thank you for any help you can give.

Go and download free primo pdf converter http://www.primopdf.com/
it works with your acrobat 6.0 standard.
this free program will solve your problem of converting any ms word document into pdf format.

"i cannot convert my word document into pdf. Onthe contrary my excel and power point work fine. I am using acrobat 6.0 standard and office 2003 with sp2 and all the patches have been updated."

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Not in general, no.

You might be able to copy/paste text if the specific PDF file you have allows
it.

Alternately you can try feeding images of the pages through some kind of OCR
software.

But neither solution is easy or guaranteed.

The best PDF converters are the ones that integrate with the usual PRINT menu option of applicatoins. e.g. Word, Excel etc..

Theres lots of freeware ones available. Im using one called CutePDF which is great.

To Rick P: THANK YOU for the solution to getting Word to create a PDF. I have spent days trying to figure out why my Adobe suddenly stopped converting Word files. THANK YOU THANK YOU!

It depends on how you're "converting" it. If you're printing to a PDF print driver, check printer settings for that driver - chances are that's simply set to landscape.

For some reason, when I convert a web page to a printable pdf file it comes back in a "landscape" format rather than portrait which is what we want. I have tried three attempts and they all come back in a landscape format. How do I fix this?

Kiril Josifovski - Open Word, click Tools, select Templates & Addins then tick the pdf maker box. This will activate the Adobe link & sort your problem.

I have a very strange problem. When I try to convert a doc. file to pdf, my Adobe Acrobat professional 6.0 simply opens my MS Word 2003 and stops there. No error message or anything... Also, I cannot integrate Adobe in Word. Any suggestions? Help appreciated, Kiril.

For the mean time, this is an issue but come along Microsoft Office 2007 and its all change. I've been testing the beta of Office 2007 and can tell you that there is a built in "save as PDF" feature, much like OpenOffice - if you can find it in the completely redesigned user interface!

Hello Leo. At the top of this page you say that you can download adobe's free reader. Is that a trial to buy program or is it a free download? If its a free download where can I download it?
Let me know please and thanks a lot for your help. Rianna

Please read the article you just commented on. Word (and Excel) do not convert to PDF natively. You must have one of the PDF creation tools installed.

I guess I'm not sure exactly what you're asking. What you haven't mentioned is that you may also need an "OCR" program, for Optical Character Recognition, to turn those scaned images back into editable text. I'll warn you that it's a lot of work.

I have acrobat profesional 6.0 and would like to be able to be abe to edit and/or revise scanned docs that were prepared for internal office use but were not save to docs. I have read the instructions on the Acrobat "help" program and even bought a guide book. Both only go so far and I cannot get any help online.
