7.4. Printing to an Adobe PDF File

Say you want to create an attachment that you can email or put up on a Web site that anyone , on any computer, can open and print. First, read the box on the previous page and install the Adobe PDF add-in. Once you've installed the add-in, creating a PDF file is as easy as saving a file.

Go to Office button Save As PDF or XPS. The Publish as PDF or XPS dialog box opens. It looks just like a Save As dialog box. It has all the standard navigation tools, so you can choose a folder to hold the file. In the "Save as type drop-down menu near the bottom, choose PDF, and then click the Publish button in the lower-right corner (where you'd normally see a Save button). When you're done, you've created a PDF file that you or anyone else can read and print with Adobe Reader.
