How to save a Word document as a PDF

It’s worth knowing how to save a Word document as a PDF, especially if you need to share your creations with contacts and colleagues. Unlike Word’s default DOCX file type, PDFs don’t require proprietary software to open without conversion. They’re also better suited for high-quality printing than DOCX files.

The good news is that saving Word documents as PDFs is no more difficult than saving them as DOCX. Just follow our guide below and you’ll be able to create your PDFs in seconds.

Either way, all you need is Microsoft Word, so just follow the steps below to start saving your documents as PDF files.

Once you save your Word document as a PDF, it should appear in whatever your default app for opening PDFs is. If you need to make amendments, you can always go back to the original Word document, make the changes then repeat the steps above to save it as a new PDF. Alternatively, with one of the best PDF editors you could tweak your new file directly.
