Word 2007 and PDFs
I've just recently installed MS Office 2007. I need to save a file as a PDF.
I downloaded the PDF plugin, but the SAVE AS dialog doesn't include PDF format in the file-type drop-down. I even restarted Word, to no avail. I was Administrator when I did the install. The installer indicated that it completed successfully. Any ideas on this? Thanks!

I don't have it in front of me but I think it's under Publish, not Save As.

Do you have any PDF commands showing when you click Prepare? If the add-in
isn't installed then there should be a link that will take you to the download. Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup.

"Prepare?" Prepare what? That isn't in the SAVE AS dialog, and the
instructions for saveing as a PDF indicate that the SAVE AS dialog is the way to do it. I'm confused. "Beth Melton" wrote: Do you have any PDF commands showing when you click Prepare?

Word 2007 and PDFs
As I said in my initial post, I downloaded the installer, saved it to my PC
and executed it. I was informed via the dialog that the installation had completed successfully. However, no PDF options appear in either the PREPARE or the SAVE AS dialog, anywhere. Even after a restart of Word. "Beth Melton" wrote: Do you have any PDF commands showing when you click Prepare?

I have the same problem. I did notice that there are now options to Email as
PDF or Email as XPS under the Send menu, but there is no similar "print to PDF" option under the Prepare menu.

Sorry about that, wrong place (I still had Tony's reply in my mind and typed
the wrong thing.) Click the Microsoft Office Button, then point to Save As (don't click the button). On the Save As menu (not the dialog box) do you see anything for PDF? If the add-in isn't installed then there should be a link for the download. So if you see the link then Word isn't recognizing the add-in you installed - you might try again using the link instead.

That did it! Thank you. Seems that I was using Firefox to attempt the
download, and (of course) Micrsoft doesn't like that very much. When I used IE, I got the correct file and it installed perfectly. Again, many thanks!!

Word 2007 and PDFs
You're welcome. :-)
It may not have been the right add-in previously, but I'm glad to hear you have the issue resolved. (Again, sorry directing you to the wrong place before!) Also, now that the functionality has been installed you'll find PDF as a file type in the Save As dialog box. Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup.
