Word to PDF naitively?

[jbob]

I was just told by a client that they heard the new version of Word has the ability to save to PDF natively. Has anyone else heard this?

 

[Nothinman]

They heard wrong AFAIK.

The newest version of OpenOffice.org has this ability, but not MS Word.

 

[ClueLis]

Nope, but OpenOffice does.

Edit: Damn. Beat to it. 🙂

Thanks.

Also, OmniPage Pro 14 will convert PDF files to Word Docs.

" <B>PDF Converter for Microsoft Word</B>
Turn PDF files into Microsoft Word documents with the click of a single button. OmniPage Pro 14 Office includes PDF Converter for Microsoft Word. As a separate plug-in application that works from within Word, Windows® Explorer, Outlook® or Internet Explorer PDF Converter instantly converts PDF files into Word documents to save you time when editing or repurposing information found in PDF files."


As a matter of info, WordPerfect has been able to do that for the past 3 versions. PDF is simply treated as a printer - and the result is a perfect PDF file readable in Acrobat.

There is also an open source program called PDFCreator that works pretty well.
