If you don’t have Word, but need to convert a document someone sent you to PDF, you do have a few options: When you’re ready, click the “Save” button.Īfter saving the PDF, you’ll be returned to your Word document, and the new PDF will open automatically in your default PDF viewer. If you want to, you can change the filename at this time. Click the dropdown arrow on the right side of the “Save As Type” box and select “PDF (*.pdf)” from the dropdown menu.
