How to convert Word to PDF file

One of the most common uses of the Now PDF Writer is creating a PDF file from Microsoft Word (.doc to PDF) or another word-processor.  This is a very simple process that I will outline in the steps below:

Step One - Create your document in Word

Because the Now PDF Writer does not have a working document window, you must first complete your document in Microsoft Word before you convert Word to PDF.  Make sure your document properties in Word are set to what you want them to be in the created PDF file.  Set the .doc page size, margins, background, etc... so it look exactly the way you want your new PDF file to look.

Step Two - Print to Now PDF Writer printer

To convert your Word doc to PDF, select the 'File' menu and select 'print'.  Then, from your list of installed printers select the NowPDF Writer and click 'OK'

Important Note when you convert Word to PDF:  On the print dialogue menu, do NOT select the 'print to file' option.  Selecting this option will bypass the Now PDF Writer and create a .prn file instead of a .pdf file.

Step Three - Save and name your new Word to PDF File

At this point, the Now PDF Writer software will prompt you to give your new PDF file a name and select a location to save the PDF file.  By default, Microsoft Word usually opens to you My Documents folder.  Make sure you know where the PDF file will be saved to and select 'OK' to complete the process of converting Word to a PDF file.
