Converting Microsoft Office 2007 documents to PDF format

Please note that Active PDF has now been decommissioned due to the ability of Microsoft Office 2007 (and other free online software) to easily produce PDF documents.

Documents created using Microsoft Office 2007 programs (e.g. Word, PowerPoint, Excel, etc) can easily be converted to the web-friendly PDF format. To do this in each program please follow these instructions:

  1. Select the 'Office Button' in the program (the top-left circular button with various coloured boxes)
  2. Go down to 'Save As'
  3. Then across to 'PDF or XPS'
  4. Under 'Save as Type' select 'PDF' and any PDF options you think relevant. (These are normally already selected and you just need to press 'Publish')

(Please note that the PowerPoint conversion will display 1 slide per page).
