This works well enough if you have a simple, mostly text Word document without much formatting (and if you already have a Google account).<\/li>\n<li><strong>A Conversion Website:<\/strong> There are a lot of sites out there that offer to convert Word documents to PDF for free. We recommend <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.freepdfconvert.com\/\">freepdfconvert.com<\/a>. It\u2019s a safe site, it works fast, and it does a pretty good job on Word documents with even a modest amount of formatting. And it really is free if you just need to convert the occasional Word document to PDF. A paid subscription gets you additional features like unlimited conversions (multiple documents at once), and the ability to convert more types of files.<\/li>\n<li><strong>LibreOffice:<\/strong> <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.libreoffice.org\/\">LibreOffice<\/a> is a free, open-source office app that offers a lot of the same features as Microsoft Office. You can even open Microsoft Word documents, and convert them to PDF.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>How to Print to PDF on Any Computer, Smartphone, or Tablet<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n setTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s) } (window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n   fbq('init', '335401813750447');\n   fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
