We constantly create Word files to write various types of text and the time may come when it is necessary for that Word file to be in PDF format, which is not only a lighter format but also has many security improvements and for use in different work environments. A PDF file allows you to have a document in good final quality and with security properties such as a password or locked editing, which does not allow other users to make changes to the same file..

 

Once we have a PDF formatted, we will ensure that the data inside does not move and displace everything when we want to print it or open it from another computer, something that often happens from a Word document. It is possible to export our Word files to PDF using various methods that TechnoWikis will explain clearly in this tutorial.
