I currently have a word doc that is approx 100mb, how to I
convert the word doc to pdf format to try and reduce the
document size
IDK about conversion to pdf, but a doc that size likely has
a huge # of embedded images. You can reduce the size of the
doc by linking to the source images instead of embedding them.
If you convert your source images to JPEG, compressed GIF, or
PNG format (experiment to see which yields lowest file size
with acceptable resolution), and link to the images in the
doc, the overall size of doc + images will be greatly reduced.
(Of course, you have to be careful to keep the linked images
with the doc any time you move it.)
To link to an image instead of embedding it, click
Insert-->Picture-->From File...,
select the file,
click on the down arrow to the right of the Insert button, and
select "Link to File".
