Saving Project as a PDF

**Billie** · 07-06-2006

I want to know a way to email the MS Project file that I have to some people who dont have Project on their computer and was told that it is possible to save the file as a PDF file. But when I am trying to look in the save as options then there are no options to save it in pdf format? Is there any other plugin required to be installed? Thanks.

If you have installed Adobe Acrobat reader in your computer then you will need to print to PDF and there is no need to save it into pdf. The other solutions that you can try is:

First of all take a picture with the camera icon in the toolbar (that's probably
After that you can export to Excel the same pic.
Now you have to tell them to download the free Java-based Open Workbench, and then save your file as an .XML so that they can open it and manipulate the data.
After that you can tell them to download the free MS Project Professional 2007 Beta from the Microsoft test site to view the file.

You can also try to use the save as option as .htm file. You should be also able to save as pdf file, but for that you will need ADOBE Distiller.

You can also try to download a PDF creator program which is termed as PRIOMO PDF, by searching it on the net and then install the same and then print the file to the PDF printer driver for that PRIOMO PDF has installed. The best part of this software is that it comes for free download and you got nothing to pay for it.
