If you’re a Windows user and you’re using Microsoft Word 2007 to compose your next free report or hot-selling e-book, chances are that you’re probably planning to use a popular free Word-to-PDF publishing tool like Pdf995. Pdf995 is a recommended free PDF publishing tool by even some of the top internet marketers.
Well, Pdf995 is great for most purposes but not perfect.
If you’re not doing anything fancy in your Word document, Pdf995 will perform the Word to PDF conversion flawlessly. There are occasions when what you see is not what you get.
In case you haven’t noticed, with Microsoft Office 2007 Service Pack 2, Word now has native support for publishing a document in PDF format. This applies to Excel and PowerPoint too.
Just click on the “Save As … PDF or XPS” menu item and hit Publish!
What’s great?
Here are some good things I can think of about the native PDF converter:
- Works fast
- Handles some of the conversions better than Pdf995
- Transparently converts Word hyperlinks, bookmarks, and table of contents to PDF equivalents
- No ads!
So, the next time you want to publish a PDF document from your Microsoft Office application, check if you have the feature listed in the menu. The feature might have been automatically installed without you realizing it!
