Ever wanted to create PDF files but don’t have a PDF writer application installed in your system? Microsoft has released a free Office 2007 Add-In named "Save as PDF or XPS Add-In" that allows you save files in PDF or XPS format from Office 2007 applications.

Download Office 2007 Add-in: Microsoft Save as PDF or XPS

This download works with the following Office programs:

* Access 2007
* Excel 2007
* InfoPath 2007
* OneNote 2007
* PowerPoint 2007
* Publisher 2007
* Visio 2007
* Word 2007

After installing the Add-In, the PDF or XPS option gets added to the Save As menu in Office 2007 applications.

Earlier Versions of Microsoft Office

This Add-In is supported only in Office 2007. If you have an earlier version of Office (2003 or earlier), you need a third-party converter to create PDFs from Windows applications.

CutePDF Writer installs itself as a "printer subsystem". This enables virtually any Windows applications (must be able to print) to create professional quality PDF documents.
