How to Use Acrobat 9 Pro With Microsoft Office Word 2003

Adobe Acrobat 9 Professional is a software package that lets users create and view Portable Document Format (PDF) files. It is well-integrated with many different programs, allowing users to convert another file format to a PDF. Once converted, any formatting users have made is preserved, and they can then send the file electronically. If you are using Microsoft Word 2003, there is no direct way to convert a file to PDF. However, you can use a third-party provider to make your Word 2003 file into a PDF that you can import into Acrobat 9 Pro.

  1. Download and install a free trial of a PDF converter program (See Resources).
  2. Step 2

    Open a Microsoft Word 2003 document.

  3. Step 3

    Edit the document as much as you need to before converting it to a PDF file. The document is more difficult to edit once it is a PDF file.

  4. Step 4

    Select “Print” in Word’s File menu. In the Print Options, select “All to PDF” in your printers list. This option shows up automatically after you install the PDF converter program.

  5. Step 5

    Select a location to save the PDF file.

  6. Step 6

    Click “Convert.” The PDF file shows up in the location you selected.

  7. Step 7

    Open the PDF file in Adobe Acrobat.
