Microsoft has introduced so called add-ins in Microsoft Office and Word which are first-party or third-party applications that extend the functionality of the software. One add-in in particular is being a great asset for me personally, it is called the 2007 Microsoft Office Add-in: Microsoft Save as PDF or XPS and works with eight Office programs including Microsoft Word 2007 and Excel 2007.
I do have to create several PDF documents each month and have been using one of the numerous online converters for this task since now. I did not like the fact that I had to upload my files to another website but that was the only working solution so far.
This has changed with the Microsoft Office add-in which adds the option to save documents as PDF right in Word and Excel. The download is only available to genuine Office 2007 users and Microsoft is performing a check before the download.
Works with:
- Microsoft Office Access 2007
- Microsoft Office Excel 2007
- Microsoft Office InfoPath 2007
- Microsoft Office OneNote 2007
- Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007
- Microsoft Office Publisher 2007
- Microsoft Office Visio 2007
- Microsoft Office Word 2007

I have a much more convenient solution that works with any version of Office, as well as any browser, text editor, or other program that has a Print function. It is a print driver that prints to a PDF file. PDFCreator is a free open-source program available at http://www.pdfforge.org/products/pdfcreator/, and works very well for me. (No, it doesn’t do a Microsoft Genuine Advantage validation check before downloading.)
Thank you for the suggestion, Fred Yontz. This is a hell of a lot better than those plugins that don’t even work with versions of Office prior to 2007. Frankly it is completely adsurd that Office does not have PDF functionality built-in from the get-go.
