I am working on a file in Word (2002 version). I need to save it as a PDF
file. How do i do that without first scanning to my printer?
Thanks for any advise you can give.

You need software which can create PDFs.
This mainly is done with a printer-driver.
Word 2002 did not yet have what came with Office 2007, a native feature
to create PDFs

If you can not afford Adobe Acrobat you may search around for cheaper
alternatives, shareware or freeware (f.e. GhostScript).

If it's just a few documents, you also use Adobe's online service (see
on Adobe's website www.adobe.com)

I'm sorry for not having the names of alternatives to Acrobat as I have
been using Acrobat for countless years and hardly ever looked
alternative software.

I can recommend Bullzip. Sets up as a printer, you print the Word doc to
that printer and it saves as pdf.

Obviously that's a "commercial", isn't it?

Will this tool also keep *LINKS* in the files from Word etc. as active
links?
