Word doc to PDF problem

john432

Trying to convert a word doc to a PDF file.

Saved as a word doc, so go to file, export, create pdf, publish.

Then get a error message "The file is in use by another application or user"

This is the same on another computer.

I am using real Microsoft office software.

Any help please.

Just save it as a PDF in word.

You should see a 'save as type' box when you save as. Drop down to PDF.

But it still opens as a word doc.

Not possible.
Check that the extension of the file you are opening is .pdf
If it is, right click on the file - Open with... - select Adobe Reader or your PDF reader

Can you not just print to .pdf that is the way I always use?
