I thought Word 2007 (and 2010) has a “Save as PDF” feature? Or at least a separate plug-in to save to PDF?
I haven’t tried PrimoPDF, but its competitor, Bullzip PDF Printer is a great free option for making PDFs. It’s rather similar to PrimoPDF. Of course, all these free options lack some major features if you want to make an e-book: there is no ‘secure’ option, like in Adobe Acrobat or Nitro PDF. You have to pay for the latter two programmes, though, and well — they’re extremely expensive!
Microsoft Office Word 2007 does have a ‘Save As PDF’ free add-on, which you can download from Microsoft’s site. Although it has the same limitations I mentioned above, it is an efficient tool in quickly publishing PDFs.
I like the PDF format for reading e-books. It’s nice and clean. And easy to make, too.
I have Word 2007 installed, but haven’t had a chance to look at the PDF add-on. The one thing I do like about using PrimoPDF is that it works with older versions of Word as well. The example from this post was done with Word 2003.
PrimoPDF does have some secure options, such as requiring a password to open the document. You can also set permissions on what a user can do, such as fill out forms.
Yes, Microsoft Word 2007 and 2010 support ‘save as PDF’. So create PDF files is not a problem!
But it’s still difficult to convert the PDF back to Word. Although there are many PDF to Word converters in the market, not many of them can do a good job. Now I’m using AnyBizSoft to convert PDF to Word for me, that’s accurate, even protected PDF can be converted. Pretty cool.
very usefull post
thanks so much
For PDF to Word converters, I’d suggest using Nitro PDF’s free converter for PDF to word, PDF to Excel. It’s available from their website in their free family (which also includes PrimoPDF).
Sweeeet! I’ve been looking for this!
Thanks
