To save an Office file as a PDF:
1. Click the Office Button
2. Hover over Save As
3. Select PDF or XPS
4. Name the file and Save

PDFs are useful because they:

• are opened in Adobe Acrobat which is freely available to anyone to download.  Users may not have PowerPoint or Word 2007 installed on their PC
• reduce the file size
• will print consistently on any printer

When using any Office Application (Word, PowerPoint, Excel) within the University of Leicester you will have an option to Save as a PDF.

From within your Office application click the Office Button

Hover over Save As then select PDF or XPS (don't click Save As).

Choose the location and name the file - use something short with no spaces if possible.  Eg rather than 'creating PDFs in Word' call it 'PDFs'.
