How to Print a Document as PDF in Word

Printing a Portable Document Format (PDF) from Microsoft Word is a fairly simple procedure. The resulting document will retain its formatting, pagination and fonts across platforms. PDF documents are widely used for both home and business and PDF readers are freely available. Microsoft Word allows you to save documents in PDF format, so you can retain the look and feel of the original document and to protect your work, as PDF documents are not easily changed and you can even prevent printing.

Your document will be saved in your chosen location as a PDF document and may open in your default PDF viewing application (usually Adobe Reader).
