how to convert word to PDF free?

Not difficult. If you have office 2007, you can download a save as PDF add-in in microsoft.com. Then you can save the word as PDF. But if you haven't, the following link could also help you out.

PrimoPDF, the 100% FREE PDF creator!, Highly recommend. I used for a long long time.

If your version of Word can't do that (older ones can't)--use Openoffice (which is free) that can "save as PDF" file.

Google for Free PDF Printer Drivers .. I use one called "Primo PDF" Basically go to print, (once installed of course) and select the printer driver instead of your printer . Another option that may work is downloading Open Office 3.x .. I believe it has an "export to PDF" n the main File Menu for writer (Open Office's version of MS Word that CAN open MS Word Documents no problem) Good luck -Xmetalfanx
