WORD 2003 cant find DC

[markrDC]

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.

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?

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.
