Axis Orders Frame 2 ???

Dace, just a heads up, there is a plugin from MS that will allow you to save documents as PDF from office 2007.  It can be downloaded free from microsoft.com  Then just save your document the way you want, then save it as a PDF with a diff name.  Only drawback is you need to save it regular first just in case you need to make changes.  You still cant edit the PDF without Adobe Acrobat.

Actually, there are several publishing programs out there that allow you to edit PDFs in the $50 - $100 range.. still a lot cheaper than Acrobat.

I use Art Explosion Publisher Pro 2.0, as an example.

There may be some freeware editors out there too, by now.. though there weren't when I looked a few years ago.

Just check for 'import and edit pdf files' as part of the product description.

Yeah there are freeware and other editors out there.  The main point of my post was to let you know, if you did not already, that you could save as a pdf from the new office products.  If they would allow you to edit them aswell that would be great, but I dont know of a way to edit pdf with it.

Except of course, copy paste into word, edit, resave as a pdf and overwrite old.

Microsoft also has a file converter to view that .docx file for the older Office programs.  I DL'ed it and now I can read his .docx file.

I believe I got it from the MS auto update.

P.S. Rep0,
You guys won't be so lucky in the next frame.  Surrender now, or be destroyed.  I plan on using your squad to help me become an ace this frame.  Please show up in force...that is all. :D
