convert .doc to .pdf please help quick.

[bromide]

I am at work and I need to get this word document to a .pdf document semi quick style. i thought it would be easy but i cant seem to do it.

i tried to just open it in acrobat and i would save it like that, but acrobat wont let me open it. obviously i dont use acrobat too much, but it would be of great appreciation if someone could help me out with this! thanks a bunch!

ok, i found somewhere that you can put choose something like acrobat distiller on the print menu and that will convert the files. does distiller come with acrobat 3? i tried to download it but when i went to install it, it said that it couldnt find the presence of acrobat 3 so it would not install it. help?

You need full-blown Adobe Acrobat to do this. What would happen is that it would install a "printer emulator" called "Adode PDFWriter" as a printer's name. And when you print to it, it will save the output as a *.pdf file you'd specify... but as far as I am aware, you need the full Adobe Acrobat to do it... which is very expensive.

thanks. i am on the phone with help desk right now, they are going to try and get the full version installed on my computer.

which is very expensive

i work for shell oil products...shouldnt be a problem, we spent 30k on a rock in front of our refinery.

There are shareware/freeware print drivers that will convert printer output to pdf format.
