Creating A PDF In Word

[Guest]

I have Office XP pro 2002
I can turn any excel, powerpoint, outlook into a PDF but for some reason i
can't turn a word document into a pdf .
My word program has no Adobe Acrobat PDF symbol anywhere and the only way I
have been able to try an convert a word doc. into a PDF is if I right click
on the file on my desktop and goto to (convert to PDF ) but it gives me an
error message that says can't find "Adobe PDF" printer or "Adobe Distiller
Printer"

please help

This is an Adobe issue rather than a Word issue, but there are two principal
factors to consider.

1. You must have the right version of the add-in (check with Adobe for
updates)
2. The add-in must be in the correct Office start-up folder, which will
probably be
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE10\STARTUP

If you have Adobe Acrobat installed you should have Adobe PDF in your list
of Printers (Start>Printers and Faxes). Try printing the document in Word
via File>Print, using Adobe PDF as the printer. I suggests turning off
"allow background printing" both in Word and in the printer preferences.
This prints the document directly to the printer without spooling. And from
bitter experience, I can tell you that if your document contains any fonts
that are not licensed to be printed to pdf, Acrobat will probably crash
during the print job without telling you why.
