Does anyone know of any free application that can be used to convert word to PDF? Does it allow editing as well?

Thanks.

OpenOffice should let you do this. I don't think it allows editing of the pdf.

PrimoPDF is completely free to download. When you run the program, you'll get an application on your desktop where you can simply click and drag the document onto it and it will convert it to a PDF file right on the desktop.

edit: I just checked mine and it does much more than word documents, as well.

Yeah just Save As > PDF, or if it's older Word version, use one of the online tools mentioned.

As far as editing...not too sure, but may be difficult since a PDF is supposed to be the "final" version of a document. Try this: http://www.investintech.com/products/desktop/editpdf/

I have Word 2004, and I can convert from word to pdf by selecting Print, and then choosing the PDF option.

Upload to Google Docs and save as PDF from there.

As the others have said lad, you can choose File > Print and where the dropdown options are for which printer to select, there is an option to choose a PDF.

Adobe Acrobat lets you mess around with them like inserting/removing pages, etc.
