In Word, use File → Save As or Export and choose PDF.
Step by Step
- Open the document in Microsoft Word.
- Choose File.
- Choose Save As or Export, depending on the Word version.
- Select PDF as the file type.
- Choose the destination and filename.
- Save the PDF and open it to verify formatting.
If That Doesn't Work
- Check page breaks, fonts, headers, and footers after conversion.
- If links need to remain clickable, use Word's PDF export rather than scanning a printed copy.
