You likely have the freely available Adobe Acrobat Reader. This lets you view PDF files. To make PDF files you need to use one of Adobe's not-free software solutions. Check out the ';Acrobat Family'; section at this page: http://www.adobe.com/downloads/



Click on the ';info'; link next to each product for more information. It looks like that have a web-based converter available. Most of the software you can try for free so if it's a one-time thing you shouldn't have to pay.How to change file into PDF format?
you need Word to PDF converter ..through that you can convert your Word file to pdf and it wil be readonly no one can change any content ..

go to http://vrajesh.co.nr and download that from Software Section ..
See if you have a Printer option for ';Adobe PDF';. Acrobat usually installs a Printer Object for this function.



If so, print the document, but choose that printer, it will then ask you for a location to save the file and that's it.
click on the button that says make adobe pdf online then just follow directions.
Newer versions of word can write out to PDF, look at the file--%26gt;export menus.
right click it click convert to pdf
Install Acrobat Reader %26amp; Writer. It will appear in printers, Now just send print and select the Adobe Acrobat Printer from MS. Word or any other applicaiton. It will ask for file name and location to be stored.



This file will be in the PDF Format.
Open the MS Word document. Go to File -%26gt; Print -%26gt; Select printer (select 'Acrobat Distiller' as print target) -%26gt; OK. It will ask for file name of target (PDF).
I suggest the straightforward program Primo PDF. http://www.primopdf.com/ what u do with it is you do a file print to primo pdf and instead of printing it will convert it to a pdf. Very Nifty.
go to www.openoffice.org, install openoffice, this is a freeware that lets you open any ms office document (not sure about office 2003 pro edition) but if save your file from word to older office formats, openoffice will let you open word, excel, powerpoint files and transforms them ';FREE'; to pdf.



Hope that helped,
As of this writing, 3/26/07, there is a free online converter --
