Select Save As: In the file menu, choose the Save As option. This will allow you to save the document in different formats.
Choose PDF Format: From the dropdown menu, select Adobe PDF as the file type.
Choose Save Location: Navigate to your desired save location (e.g., Downloads folder) and click Save. Your document will now be converted into a PDF format.
Open the PDF: Once saved, you can open the newly created PDF file to ensure it converted correctly.
Method 2: Save As PDF Directly
Open Your Document: As before, start with your Microsoft Word document open.
Access the File Menu: Click on the File tab again.
Select Save As: Choose the Save As option from the menu.
