print to Postscript and then convert the Postscript to PDF using ghostscript.
No, my Office 2000 doesn't seem to have this

Go to your Printers control panel, create a New Printer, use the driver for the Apple LaserWriter (included with most if not all versions of Windows) and set it to print to file, rather than to a real printer. When you print to that "printer", it will ask you for a filename -- end the filename in ".ps" (stands for PostScript). These files can then be opened in GSView (or Acrobat Reader, I think) or converted to Acrobat's (un)Portable Document Format using ps2pdf.

However, this method will require manual opening and printing-to-file of each and every document, which isn't what you asked for in your original post and is probably not what you really want to do, unless you're only doing a few documents. (If you *are* doing only a handful of documents, then it's an easy way out, which is why I explained it.)


$;=sub{$/};@;=map{my($a,$b)=($_,$;);$;=sub{$a.$b->()}} split//,".rekcah lreP rehtona tsuJ";$\=$ ;->();print$/

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
