Converting Word Files to PDF

You will need either the PDFWriter or any PostScript printer driver installed to create a PDF from a Word document. (PDFwriter appears to be available only for Windows NT 4.0 and 95. An article warns against using PDFwriter for documents with embedded EPS files.)

Using the instructions below, set the PDFWriter properties (IMPORTANT):

  1. Select File | Print
  2. Under Printer Name select the Acrobat PDFWriter driver
  3. Click Properties button to the right of the Printer Name text box
  4. Click Compression
  5. Under the Compatibility drop-down list, choose Acrobat 3.0, and click OK
  6. Click Fonts
  7. Check the Embed All Fonts option, or check the Always Embed List option and add all fonts (including the base fonts) to the list
  8. Deselect any subsetting options (IMPORTANT)
  9. Click OK twice, then either click Close to complete the configuration, or OK to create the PDF.

After the properties are set, you may also create a PDF by choosing

  File | Create Adobe PDF | Print via PDFWriter

Generating a PostScript file from a Word document

  3. Check the Print To File checkbox
  4. Check the resolution of the output (600 dpi minimum) by clicking the Properties button and choosing the Graphics tab.
  5. Click OK to output a PostScript file. The extension of this file will be *.prn
  6. Go to the PDF conversion site and follow the simple instructions there.
