[QUOTE="D3v1L80Y, post: 132925, member: 2960"] That still won't convert a .doc file (at least as far as I can see, but I could be mistaken). Native OS X apps cannot open MS Word files, therefore will not be able to convert them directly from Word. AppleWorks/iWork can open .doc files, but cannot convert them to PDF. MS does not offer PDF conversion from within Word either, so you would need a third pary app to do this. I suppose it would be technically possible if you first converted the .doc to a TIFF somehow, then you could convert the TIFF to a PDF...but that seems a bit too much work. The DOCtor app seems to be the best option for converting Word docs, outside of purchasing Acrobat or some other PDF creator app. [/QUOTE]
