Wont work like that. You need to convert it.

I use openoffice It is free and lets you convert docs to pdfs wih one click.

Just google it.

Open your document in word... Go to File - Print - PDF button - (bottom left corner of the opened Print Window prompt) then SAVE as PDF

That should work.

Hope that helps you.

It really depends on your budget.

I use Adobe Acrobat for Mac (but it's $700).

You can use their online service for free at: Adobe.com

There are also some "Word to PDF" Mac converters for $100 or less but I've not tried any of them.

Once you finally have openoffice installed, you will be able to create your PDF

Yes, I agree with the members who are encouraging you to use openoffice. You can't go wrong with the price. lol

If you already have microsoft office you don't need open office. If you have Adobe Acrobat.

In office there will be a button at the top left that will convert it to pdf. I use this all the time.

I don't know of any pdf program that will allow the links to be clickable other than acrobat. I will admit however, that acrobat is the only one I have used.

Hope this helps.

Thanks

I have a mac too, and it automatically has an adobe "printer."

First: DO NOT OPEN ADOBE AT ALL DURING THIS PROCESS. Start by opening your document in word, then click on "file" --> print and at the bottom of the print pop-up screen you'll see "PDF" with a drop down menu

click "save as pdf" and let it convert.

Don't open Adobe at all during this process...once you saved it, double click on the pdf document, and THEN adobe will open.

Your links should remain hyperlinked.

Good luck...if this doesn't work, let me know what you're seeing on your "print" pop-up, because the adobe converter comes with the office program, so you might have an older version or whatever...

Thanks

Documents from word to pdf are simple and easily converted with open office. It's a great tool as you can edit in the doc format within the program and then simple hit the pdf button to convert it straight away! Pasting in hyperlinks isn't a problem either! A great way to create your own reports! Hope this helps you!
