Save it as a PDF

Tech Tip Tuesday

There are a few advantages to saving documents and files as PDF. First, anyone, no matter the device used, can open a PDF. Second, it freezes your formatting and layout. Third, with programs like KAMI users can still annotate on the document while the original stays in its original format. 

To save a Microsoft Document as a PDF: Click File> Click Save As> Choose the Storage Location> File Name: Name your Document> File Type: In the drop down menu choose PDF> Click Save

To save a Google File as a PDF: Click File>Download as>PDF Document(.pdf)

It's that easy!

PDF to Word in a Few Easy Steps

Converting a PDF file to a Microsoft Word document has never been easier. Here's how it works -

1. Open MS Word.
2. Click File > Open.
3. Select the PDF file you want to convert and click Open.
4. A dialog box will appear letting you know Word is going to convert the document > Click OK.
5. The PDF will now open as a Word document.

You can make changes, add content and save it as a Word document. Keep in mind, if your PDF file has a lot of formatting, tables, graphics . . . the conversion may not be perfect, but at least it's a starting point. It's better than having to create it from scratch.

You can also save it back to a PDF file after editing.
1. Click File > Export.
2. Click PDF/XPS.
3. Give it a filename (if you want it to be different from what is shown).
4. Click Publish.
