    Why doesn't Microsoft Word give me the option to "Save as PDF" in the file menu?
    Community Answer
    A special type of software (technically called add-in) has the ability to convert Microsoft Word documents to PDF. However, Word 2007 does not include this add-in by default. To convert to PDF with Microsoft Word 2007, you have to download the add-in from Microsoft's website.
