0 rfirth Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Hey, Is there a free or open source Docx to pdf Coverter? Please Help! Just in case you haven't realized, this is built-in to MS Office. You don't need any special converters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 blade1269 Posted May 6, 2012 Author Share Posted May 6, 2012 No I just need to do one file, maybe more down the road. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Gerowen Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 LibreOffice doesn't, as far as I'm aware, have any issues reading DOCX files. The only issue I've ran into is PowerPoint presentations created with MS Office. That being said, here are two options I recommend. 1) CutePDF - It creates a fake printer, that when you send a print job to it, just converts the print job to a PDF document. It is free software. Website: http://www.cutepdf.com 2) LibreOffice - The continuation of OpenOffice by The Document Foundation, it has native PDF export capabilities, and works perfectly fine with most MS Office documents (except MS Office created PowerPoints as I said above). LibreOffice is free and open source software. Website: http://www.libreoffice.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 rfirth Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 How do I do this in office? Go to File > Save As. Choose PDF as the format to save in. That's all you have to do in Office 2010. In Office 2007, you have to install a free add-in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Cute James Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Google docs --> print to PDF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 MS Bob 11 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 If you apply Office 2007 SP2, Save as PDF is built-in. Or you can download doPDF which unlike CutePDF doesn't depend on requiring to install Ghostscript. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 psreloaded Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Office 2007 service pack 2 onwards, the capability to save as PDF is built in. So if you have office, you should be good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 sibot Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 There is a PDF plugin for Microsoft Office available from Microsoft. Otherwise I use doPDF for saving webpages as PDFs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 TEX4S Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 All of these silly suggestions for something that as simple as a "Save as" click... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
