You can use the Office programs to save or convert your files to PDFs so that you can share them or print them using commercial printers. And you won’t need any other software or add-ins.
Use PDF format when you want a file that:
-
Looks the same on most computers.
-
Has a smaller file size.
-
Complies with an industry format.
Examples include resumes, legal documents, newsletters, files that are intended to be read (not edited) and printed, and files that are intended for professional printing.

Portable Document Format (PDF) preserves document formatting and enables file sharing. When the PDF format file is viewed online or printed, it retains the format that you intended. The PDF format is also useful for documents that will be reproduced using commercial printing methods. PDF is accepted as a valid format by many agencies and organizations, and viewers are available on a wider variety of platforms than XPS.
XML Paper Specification (XPS) is an electronic file format that preserves document formatting and enables file sharing. The XPS format ensures that when the file is viewed online or printed, it retains exactly the format that you intended, and that data in the file cannot be easily changed.
Important: Most modern web browsers can open and display a PDF file. If you have an older operating system, however, you may need a PDF reader installed on your device such as the Acrobat Reader, available from Adobe Systems.

-
Закройте все программы пакета Microsoft Office и разархивируйте скачанный инсталлятор. В Windows 10 это можно сделать через контекстное меню, выбрав опцию «Извлечь все».

- Дождитесь, пока операционная система выполнит подготовку текстового редактора Microsoft Word для интеграции в него надстройки. Эта процедура может занимать до трех минут времени, в зависимости от мощности компьютера.
- После завершения операции дополнение будет установлено, а на экране появится соответствующее уведомление. Нажмите по кнопке «ОК», чтобы закрыть окно инсталлятора.
Сразу после этого в Word 2007 появится возможность сохранять документы в формате PDF. Для этого откройте главное меню, наведите курсор на пункт «Сохранить как» и на боковой панели справа выберите опцию «PDF или XPS».
Далее в появившемся окне файлового менеджера перейдите в нужную директорию, введите имя файла и выберите из выпадающего списка «Тип файла» значение «PDF (*.pdf)». Чтобы завершить сохранение, кликните по кнопке «Опубликовать».
