Hide Word Track Changes before converting to PDF

I have marked my Word document as Final before saving.  But when I convert the document to a pdf the comments and corrections in Track Changes still show up in the new pdf version.

    I figured it out. The Track Changes icon must be un-highlighted to turn

    off the TC.

    How did you convert the Word file to PDF, exactly?

    Do you have Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader?

    I have Adobe Reader.  I used the Adobe on-line capability for converting Word documents to pdf. After logging in I just selected the Word file for converting

    hit convert to pdf and then viewed the document after the conversion and saw that my Track Changes comments and corrections were shown in the pdf.  Prior to selecting the Word document for conversion I had marked it as "Final" in the Track Changes drop-down menu.  The mark--ups in the document disappeared but upon converting to pdf they showed up again.  I am hoping not to have to re-type the document in its entirety prior to converting it to a pdf.  Thanks, be
