Need to Auto Create PDF When Saving Word Doc- Yeah I've Tried Google Too

Hi All,

I've searched…

I save word docx, and then manually save them as a pdf for emails.

Is there a way that, when I save the docx file, it will automatically also create a PDF version of the same name in that folder?

Any help would be appreciated.

  • Create a Macro to save Word Doc and PDF at same time
    Run the macro instead of clicking Save.

    Try this…. http://ideophone.org/one-click-save-as-pdf-word-2007-2010-20…

    That will save them just as PDF. If you add "ActiveDocument.Save" in a line before End Sub it will save it as a word version too.

    • Thank you, it worked. :)

    • so, got the PDf to save as a new file name, but the word doc saves as the previous versions name.

      ie. I run the Macro, and the saveas option appears, which I can edit the filename, but then the word save option autosave the previous/current name of the file,

      Any way to get them to both be the same new name.

      I open previous word docs as a template, and change the info, then re-save as the update name.

  • How many times a day do you perform this function?

    • 15-30times. But all together.

      • Dang. I can understand your frustration now.

        • Yeah, very annoying. Especially using 365 azure, slight lag.

  • add to macro to save as with name plus 1 that increments each save, IE 1st save mydoc.docx/pdf, subsequent save mydoc1.docx, mydoc2 etc?

  • add to macro to save as with name plus 1 that increments each save, IE 1st save mydoc.docx/pdf, subsequent save mydoc1.docx, mydoc2 etc?

    • Any chance you can write the macro? I am so new to this I have know idea what you are writing.

    You must not be very good at Googling either? There's plenty of hits on a number of different forums
