How do I go about saving a Word Document directly as a PDF file from within
Word without having to open Adobe Acrobat?
 
You don't. Word has no function to save to PDF. You need either the full
version of Acrobat or one of its cheaper clones.

Thank you Graham for your response. I guess I shouldn't have paraphrased the
question. To be more clear, here is the full question. "I have Adobe
Acrobat 5.x on my Window XP computer along wtih MS Office. I want to be able
to save Word document directly as PDF file from within Word without having
to open Adobe Acrobat. It works on one of my computers. but not the one in
my office. How do I go about getting it to work? (Hint: You need PDFMaker
working)"

I am currently taking a class for my librarymedia degree and this is what
has been presented to me. Any help anyone can offer would be GREATLY
appreicated. I have been researching this from all kinds of angles and
cannot come up with any one concrete solution. Thank you much.

Try printing your document to Acrobat Distiller. This will not scan your
document structure and insert bookmarks for all the headings into the
PDF file, but it will produce a PDF file for you.

If your PDFMaker macro tool bar is missing from Word, give this a read:
