How to Convert Excel file to .PDF

[gns100]

I have MS Office 2000 Professional operating under Windows 2000. I want to convert an Excel file to a Acrobat .PDF document. I thought that on the File Menu in Excel I would find something like "Save As .PDF" or "Convert to .PDF" but it wasn't there. What do I need to do to have that appear, or should I be doing this some other way?
Thanks for any help in this matter.

Typicaly the install does put in some pdf tools ...

see if one is available under the toolbars list

or

select print from the file menu and look for the pdf writer or pdf distiller as a printer.

if the other ideas don't work, check if your version of Word includes the creation of PDF documents.

Of course Adobe make their money from software that can write to PDF, and give away the reader function to create a market for such software. So there may not be any easy method and you might have to buy something.

I posted this recently on another forum, could be just the ticket for you!
So we all have Acrobat Reader for reading PDF files , but what if you have heaps of Documents you want to save as PDF files to E-mail or upload to the web so others can view....there are many paid for PDF writers but the one I use is easy to understand and does a great job.

Go to the link below and download the Cute PDF writer and the Converter both on the same page.....Install the Writer then the converter....write your document...then PRINT. In the print options choose the Cute PDF writer...it does not print it but just gives you an option on where to save it....from there you can E-mail it or do what you wish Can print it now if you wish after has been saved as a PDF.....anyway the instructions are more defined on the site.....check it out.
