how do you save a word 2003 file as a pdf?

I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO SAVE A MICROSOFT WORD 2003 DOCUMENT AS A PDF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Answer
Answer

Unlike Word 2007 and 2010, Word 2003 has no native ability to create PDFs. For this you need third-party software. The premier software for this purpose is Adobe Acrobat (Adobe is the creator of the Portable Document Format), but it is very expensive and is overkill for many purposes.

There are several free alternatives. Jeeped has mentioned one. Others are Primo PDF and CutePDF. And Adobe even provides a free service to create PDFs online.

Answer
I've used the BullZip PDF Printer on many different Windows systems with earlier Office versions to great success. Just install BullPDF as a dummy printer and print to it. You will be asked to supply a filename and your .PDF file will be created.
