Try http://www.printinpdf.com to convert your word document to PDF. I tried my thesis for conversion and 182 pages PDF file for free is great.

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."

My PDF book, I converted from Open Office, came out fine on my husband's computer, but someone else downloaded it, and it came out as a bunch of dots. What did I do wrong? How can I fix it?

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.

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.

Have Adobe Pro 7.0.8 installed, user has admin rights on local machine, and installed Adobe on her profile. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.

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!

I've read your article and have Adobe.
Some web pages and their cut-and-paste Word docs still will not convert.
The "debug" button does not seem to help.
Error message does not clarify.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.

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.
