Question Document Conversion. Word -> PDF

My daughter has to submit her final MSc thesis to her uni this week and it needs to be in PDF format. It's quite long and some graphs included.

How does she do this please? Any Freeware solutions?

Thanks, David

+1 for CutePDF - or she can load the file into LibreOffice (this week's name for OpenOffice) which has a 'export as PDF' feature.

Primo PDF............or, depending upon the version of office she is running (2007, 2010) you can download a plugin so you can just save the files as a .pdf from within Word).

By a Mac - it's a standard option in that .... I'm surprised nobody has said it already

Only kidding!!

+1 for PrimoPDF or NitroPDF (might actually be the same thing!)
