Could one of you puter wizards tell me how to convert a Word file over to a PDF file?

It's a computer with photos of dirt bikes and information on dirt bikes so, I guess you could say this is dirt bike related. ;)

Thank you.

Try saving your file, then right-clicking on it and going to "open with Adobe acrobat" or whatever it is, then save it in PDF format.

 

[patto3]

dont worry that doesn't work. :(

Without the full blown Adobe software, I think many machines come with Adobe Elements, which will allow Word to PDF file with just a click.

I think you can also go to the Adobe site and they will allow you to make 5 PDF's or so on the try. I think you have to download some code that embeds into Word.

There are pdf converters available online.

The other alternative is to have the full blown adobe acrobat software suite. Then you would be able to open the file in word and "print" it to a PDF document.

Thanks fellas. :cool: I knew you guys would know. :nod:

Just an FYI... if you drop microsoft office and use openoffice, which is comparable and free, you can convert to pdf right from the file menu.

 

[sixds]

yeah openoffice.org is the way to go.

You cand download Primo PDF for free, and it will convert anything you want to PDF. I use it all the time.

 

[Ol'89r]

If your as old as I you never had computer 101... that having been said guy's like us stumble across things in the tube by accident. If your lucky, when the document is open go to "print" which most likely shows your default printer. Suspect there may be a pull down allowing you to change printer... see if you see print- pdf distiller or print pdf. If so, choose one or the other then print.

Review the .pdf file closely, some fonts, symbols don't convert.

Good Luck... computors are one sport your better off without the manual!

In my "Data processing 101" class I learned to use a large machine to type in a simple math problem, which punched holes in cards. We then got to run these cards through the large room-sized data processor, which would then solve our simple math problem and provide me the correct answer! Amazing technology!

Ever drop your tray of cards on the floor? :bang: ... Great confetti from the dots :laugh:

ah yes, the punch card machine which processes the punch card, which is read by the new fangled computer.

Thank God for the PC!
