PDF (Portable Document Format) was developed by Adobe Systems and was its property three years ago. This meant that other companies did not have the right to distribute their software products with the included editing tools for documents of this format without purchasing the corresponding rights from Adobe Systems. However, since mid-2008, PDF has become an open standard, which has greatly increased the choice of ways to convert documents to this format.
It is necessary
Word processor Microsoft Office Word 2007/2010 or Internet access
Instructions
Step 1
Use, for example, a word processor Microsoft Office Word to convert native doc files to pdf format. The last two versions of this application (Word 2007 and 2010) have already been released with built-in functions for saving documents in this standard - now it complies not only with the internal Adobe standard, but also with the international ISO 32000.
Step 2
Start Word and load the document you want to convert into it. To call the file open dialog in this application, you can use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + O or the "Open" item in the main Word menu. This menu in Word 2007 is opened by clicking the large round button in the upper left corner of the window, and in Word 2010 it is replaced by a blue button labeled “File” in the same place, which has the same purpose. Using the launched dialog, find the required doc-file, select it and click the "Open" button.
Step 3
Save the downloaded document in pdf format. To do this, reopen the main menu of the word processor and select "Save As". In the "File name" field, you can change the original file name, if necessary. Expand the drop-down list "Files of type" and select the line with the text PDF (*. Pdf). As a result, another section will be added to the dialog, where you can choose one of two options for optimizing the document - this is about the same as choosing the quality when saving an image. Clicking on the "Options" button in the additional section opens a wider set of settings for the saved document. When everything is set up, click the OK button and the document will be saved in pdf format.
Step 4
If you are unable to use versions of Word with support for this format, then you can carry out the conversion through the scripts of any online service offering such a service. It is not difficult to find them on the Internet - for example, you can do this on the sites https://www.doc2pdf.net/ru or
