Update: Modern versions of Office no longer need this extension. Saving files as a PDF or XPS is a function that’s built-in.
Save Office 2007 Documents as PDF or XPS
1. Download and install the free PDF Add-In: 2007 Microsoft Office Add-in: Microsoft Save as PDF or XPS 2. Click the Office Button in Word, Excel, Powerpoint, etc. Hover mouse over Save As, Click PDF or XPS
Fill out the PDF or XPS options, and you’re done. Here’s the Write-Up from Microsoft on the PDF/XPS Add-in / Plug-in: #1 – XPS is Microsoft’s version of PDF. #2 – It allows you to save and share a document with people who might not have Word installed. #3 – It allows you to share documents with people however they cannot change the document. Perhaps you want to send a contract to someone or a Bid for a job or???? Saving it as a .XPS they won’t be able to modify (normally). Like I said, it was supposed to be the PDF killer but it never really took off. In the past Microsoft was releasing all their documentation and White Papers in .PDF AND .XPS form however recently I’ve noticed they seldom use .XPS anymore on their websites. Comment
