How do I convert a office 2003 word doc, or excel or publisher to pdf.

I know you can do it in office 2007 and 2010.

Thanks

Normally save as then the drop list gives you *.pdf

Or open adobe and it may let you also open a word doc. And from there in adobe save as pdf.

The drop down in save as, the option to save as pdf is not there in office pro 2003.

I will try adobe and see what happens.

Thanks.

It says I need to subscribe and pay, I wont be doing that, is there there another way any one knows, please.

I used this for years for converting Word .doc to .pdf:

PDF Creator

Thank you.

You can also do it online (free) at www.freepdfconvert.com

Cute PDF is another good free PDF writer.

The option to save as .PDF in Microsoft Office 2003 as stated above is under the save as option, if this is not shown as also mentioned above. you have to down load an add-in module "save as PDF/XPS" from the MS office website and when you run this file it will add the option to save the file as PDF/XPS to the office 2003 menu. (Google it)

Another way to do it is to download Apache OpenOffice (free!) - it will read Microsoft Office documents. I use it all the time because I use Linux, and I've not seen a standard Office document which OpenOffice wouldn't read - and then 'Export to PDF' is just an option under the 'File' menu.
