I googled around but can't find a workable answer. Sorry

I have Word 2003 on a WINDOWS 10 machine.

I tried to save a WORD document as a pdf, but there was no pdf option in the save DROPDOWN.

I noticed the machine had no ADOBE.

SO I downloaded ADOBE DC

I installed

I went to WORD to save the file

Still no pdf in the dropdown

I tried going into WORD manage disabled options.  no dice. no APPS listed

what am I doing?

    1. If you mean the free software, that's no good. You need the pay-for Acrobat to work with Office 2007 and later.

    2. The current version of Acrobat Pro DC has given up support for Office 2003.

    So, no go.

    Yes, no free Reader will work. Never did. One time you could pay for Acrobat to use in Word 2003 but it‘s Much too late.

    I am not sure I follow.

    Reader is opening on my WIN10, but when I use WORD2003 and try to save as

    pdf, pdf is not in the dropdown. You are saying no free ADOBE reader will

    work?

    ion of Windows.

    Follow these steps to install the drivers in compatibility mode and check

    if that helps.

    a. Download the Adobe reader .

    b. Right-click on the setup file and click on ‘properties’.

    c. Click on the ‘compatibility’ tab and check the box ‘Run this program in

    compatibility mode for’ and select Windows 8 operating system from the drop

    down menu and proceed with the installation.

    d. Once this is done, restart the computer and check if the issue persists.
