Save as PDF

To retain your file’s format when you share your files with other people or when you print your files by using commercial methods, you can save files as PDF files. Use PDF format when you want a file that:

  • Looks the same on most computers.

  • Has a small file size.

  • Complies with an industry format.

Examples include resumes, legal documents, newsletters, files that are intended to be only read (not edited) and printed, and files that are intended for professional printing.

  1. On the File menu, click Save As.

  2. In the Save As box, type a name for the file.

  3. On the Format pop-up menu, click PDF.

  4. Click Save.

Note  After you have saved a document as a PDF file, you cannot convert it back to an Office file format without specialized software or a third-party add-in.
