Use PDFMaker to convert a file to PDF (Mac OS)
The default Acrobat installation adds Convert To Adobe PDF buttons to Office application toolbars. You can use
these buttons to create Adobe PDF files quickly and easily from Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files without
opening Acrobat.
The PDF creation process applies the currently selected conversion settings. If you want to change those settings, you
must open Acrobat Distiller and select options there. In most cases, the default settings produce good results.
Note:
Password-protected Excel files can’t be converted to PDF on Mac OS. Also, many PowerPoint features aren’t
converted when you produce a PDF from a PowerPoint file on Mac OS. For example, animations and transitions aren’t
converted.
1
Open the file in the Office application.

On the Adobe Acrobat PDFMaker 8 toolbar, select one of the following:
•
Convert To Adobe PDF.
•
Convert To Adobe PDF And EMail.

When the conversion is complete, choose View File if you want to open the new PDF in Acrobat, or Done if you
want to close the Acrobat PDFMaker status dialog box without opening the PDF.
