What program can you use to convert document (*.doc) files to PDF

[LakerGod]

Is it acrobat? I've used it before, but couldn't seem to figure it out. If it is acrobat, could somebody please walk me through it?

If it isn't acrobat, can somebody suggest a program that will do it?

Acrobat Reader can't create PDF's, can only view them...

You can create them online here... You have to pay a monthly fee, but your first 5 is free... so if this is a one-time thing then this is perfect for you...

Thanks for the site!

As for acrobat reader, I have that too, but I am also"borrowing" the full version of Acrobat. Can I do it with that program?

You should be able to... but sorry I can't provide step-by-step instructions...

I've tried using the "print all" feature, but for some reason it won't work with word documents.

You can use some kind of plug-in type thing that will allow you to convert to .pdf inside word. If I remember correctly you act like you are going to print to a file and pick this plugin thingy as your type of printer. I forget what it is called, but i believe it is free.

Edit: I believe it was called a distiller

Distiller comes as a virtual printer with acrobat, you choose that as a printer and it will automatically bring up a box asking you where you want to save the file and with what name when you press print. There may be a free option too...
