How To: Converting a Microsoft Word Doc to PDF

This may be common knowledge for y'all, but I had to explain to someone non-technical today how to convert a Word Doc to a PDF and it actually seemed a bit tricky to me. Here's what you do:

• Header over to Adobe and either buy Adobe Acrobat or do 30 day trial. In this case, Adobe Acrobat isn't the same thing as Adobe Reader, which is free.
• Download and install Adobe Acrobat
• Bring up your document in Microsoft Word
• Now here's the somewhat tricky part, go to File » Print. Ignore for a second that you don't actually want to print the file, but instead want to turn it into a PDF.
• Select the printer named Adobe PDF:
• Click OK to print your document
• Adobe Acrobat will kick in at this point and may ask you some questions, like where you want to save the PDF file
• And you're done!

Happy PDF'ing!
