sending as a pdf but not saving as a pdf

[wornout mom]

Our office just went to Office 2007. In word 2003, you could send a word
document as a pdf but didn't have to save it as a pdf. Word 2007 is not
letting me do this. Is this a change? or am I doing something wrong.

Thank You

Word 2003 wasn't doing that, Talk to your IT dept and ask them what program
that was.

Word 2003 and 2007 have no ability to create PDF files. Both require an
add-in or third party PDF application
If you have (say) Acrobat installed to create your PDF files, then its
add-in requires the documents to be saved as a document first.
If you are using the Word 2007 PDF add-in, this works in an entirely
different way and if you Send as PDF it creates a PDF file on the fly and
attaches that to your e-mail message. The original document does not require
saving to achieve this.
The answer lies with the PDF software you are using.
