Differences in safety features, voltage, and convenience have resulted in a whopping 15 different \u201cstandard\u201d plug types used across the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether trying to plug in a hairdryer on an international trip or communicating important information to your colleagues, knowing the right standard is essential to success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In document management, PDF is the standard for many reasons: it\u2019s convenient, compatible with most operating systems, secure, and supports a wide variety of content. On the other hand, the leading word processor Microsoft Word is easy to use, creates professionally formatted documents and includes robust text editing tools.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How do you get the best of both worlds?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With <a href=\"\/filecenter-features.html\">FileCenter,<\/a> converting Word documents to PDF is quick and straightforward.

Why has PDF been so popular, and why will it continue to be useful in the future?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Portability.<\/strong> As the name \u201cPortable Document Format\u201d suggests, one of Adobe\u2019s main priorities with PDF was to create a document format that people could use from any operating system. Portability is important because it allows you to maintain consistent formatting from user to user, no matter what platform they open your document from. Word documents, on the other hand, frequently suffer from compatibility issues between users.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Security.<\/strong> Word processors like Microsoft Word are useful for creating slick, professional documents quickly and easily. However, Word documents don\u2019t have all the <a href=\"https:\/\/marketbusinessnews.com\/why-you-need-to-convert-word-documents-to-pdf-for-maximum-benefits\/311622\/\">security features of PDFs<\/a>, so you should consider converting your Word documents to PDF before sharing them with external users.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Versatility.<\/strong> PDF documents can store a wide variety of information, including text, images, animated gifs, or even rich media like audio and video. This variety makes PDFs the best go-to option for businesses that need to convey more than just the words on the page.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These unique strengths make PDF documents useful for businesses of every size in every industry, so to combine the best parts of Word documents and PDF files, you will need to convert Word documents to PDF\u2014and sometimes the other way around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How to Protect PDF File from Copying, Editing or Printing For Free Without Using Adobe Acrobat Pro\" width=\"605\" height=\"340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nf3Xbabs3yA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Method 1: Save as PDF in Word<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Microsoft Office 365 is the leader in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/983299\/worldwide-market-share-of-office-productivity-software\/\">office productivity software<\/a>. Its applications like PowerPoint and Excel are industry standards due to their full range of features and user-friendly interfaces. While some users prefer Google Sheets over Excel and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prezent.ai\/\">presentation platforms<\/a> over PowerPoint, Microsoft Word is by far the most popular word processing software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of Word\u2019s features is the ability to save word documents as PDF files within the application. First, open the document you\u2019d like to save as PDF, go to File, select Save As, and choose \u201cPDF\u201d from the drop-down menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.filecenter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Image-1-3.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"493\" src=\"https:\/\/www.filecenter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Image-1-3-1024x493.png\" alt=\"You can save your document as a PDF directly within Microsoft Word\" class=\"wp-image-1159\" style=\"width:768px;height:370px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.filecenter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Image-1-3-1024x493.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.filecenter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Image-1-3-300x144.png 300w, https:\/\/www.filecenter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Image-1-3-768x370.png 768w, https:\/\/www.filecenter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Image-1-3-1536x740.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.filecenter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Image-1-3-100x48.png 100w, https:\/\/www.filecenter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Image-1-3-150x72.png 150w, https:\/\/www.filecenter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Image-1-3-200x96.png 200w, https:\/\/www.filecenter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Image-1-3-450x217.png 450w, https:\/\/www.filecenter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Image-1-3-600x289.png 600w, https:\/\/www.filecenter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Image-1-3-900x433.png 900w, https:\/\/www.filecenter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Image-1-3.png 1707w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The biggest upside of this method is that you can do it from Microsoft Word without any additional tools, but the downside is that it doesn\u2019t offer as many options as other methods of converting to PDF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Method 2: Print to PDF in Word<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Saving Word Documents as PDF isn\u2019t the only way to convert to PDF within Microsoft Word. Similarly, printing to PDF is a quick and easy way to create PDF files from your Word documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To print to PDF, follow a similar process to saving to PDF: open the File menu and select Print from the left-hand menu, just like you would if you were printing a paper document. Before hitting the Print button, open the Printer drop-down menu and select Microsoft Print to PDF. Once you hit Print, Word will create a PDF like it would print a paper document.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.filecenter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Image-2-7.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"866\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.filecenter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Image-2-7.jpg\" alt=\"Print to PDF is another easy way to convert Word documents to PDF\" class=\"wp-image-1160\" style=\"width:433px;height:512px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.filecenter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Image-2-7.jpg 866w, https:\/\/www.filecenter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Image-2-7-254x300.jpg 254w, https:\/\/www.filecenter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Image-2-7-768x908.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.filecenter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Image-2-7-100x118.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.filecenter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Image-2-7-150x177.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.filecenter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Image-2-7-200x236.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.filecenter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Image-2-7-300x355.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.filecenter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Image-2-7-450x532.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.filecenter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Image-2-7-600x709.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 866px) 100vw, 866px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>While the printed PDF in method 2 appears identical to the saved PDF in method 1, there are a few differences between the two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/deftpdf.com\/blog\/what-is-the-difference-between-save-to-and-print-to\">biggest difference<\/a> is that the printed PDF creates a \u201cflattened\u201d document\u2014a digital version of a printed page. In that process, your printed PDF retains the appearance of hyperlinks and bookmarks but clicking those links won\u2019t take you anywhere. In a saved PDF, Word preserves hyperlinks, navigation, and bookmarks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another notable difference is file size: a printed PDF usually takes up more space on your hard drive, while a saved PDF generally takes up less space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Method 3: Convert Word Documents to PDF<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Saving and printing directly from Microsoft Word is an easy way to create PDFs from your Word documents. But converting Word documents to PDF using document management software like <a href=\"\/filecenter-features.html\">FileCenter<\/a> is the most reliable and convenient way to convert Word documents to PDF perfectly every time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To convert a Word document to PDF, start by locating the Word document within FileCenter. From here, converting to a PDF takes only a few clicks and seconds\u2014select the Convert button and choose the type of document you\u2019d like to convert your Word document to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.filecenter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Image-3-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"364\" src=\"https:\/\/www.filecenter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Image-3-1-1024x364.jpg\" alt=\"Select the file you want to convert and press the Convert button\" class=\"wp-image-1161\" style=\"width:768px;height:273px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.filecenter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Image-3-1-1024x364.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.filecenter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Image-3-1-300x107.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.filecenter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Image-3-1-768x273.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.filecenter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Image-3-1-1536x546.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.filecenter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Image-3-1-100x36.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.filecenter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Image-3-1-150x53.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.filecenter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Image-3-1-200x71.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.filecenter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Image-3-1-450x160.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.filecenter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Image-3-1-600x213.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.filecenter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Image-3-1-900x320.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.filecenter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Image-3-1.jpg 1570w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll immediately notice that you have more options within FileCenter than in Microsoft Word\u2014you can select a specific type of PDF and convert to more file formats with the click of a button, depending on your starting file format.
