Microsoft Office 2007
Creating a PDF File
Microsoft Office 2007 offers a PDF creator which converts files to a PDF. A PDF file is similar to a photograph of a document; the file is not editable and, depending on the PDF-creating program, may or may not allow the text to be searched or copied. The Microsoft Office PDF creator, the creator significant to this document, creates PDFs in which text can be searched and copied.
