To save your documents as PDF formats in Microsoft Office 2007, you will need to install the Microsoft Save As PDF Add-in. This can be downloaded from the Microsoft website in the downloads section.
After you have downloaded and installed the add-in, you will be able to save any Office 2007 document (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) as PDF.
All you need to do is click the Office Button and hover your mouse over the SaveAs option, then click the PDF item.

A dialog window will be displayed, where you can give the pdf a name and choose the location where to save it.

Here you can also choose to optimize the final PDF document for Standard (higher quality) or Minimum size (lower quality).
Lower quality does not mean that it is unreadable, but you should use this option if you wish to publish the document on a website, as it will be smaller in filesize, and therefore downloads faster.
Publishing (Saving) your PDF document is just a matter of clicking the Publish Button.
There is also the Options Button which when clicked gets you to some more advanced options that you might find useful.

The last option ISO 19005-1 compliant (PDF/A), if ticked, will create a more standards compliant PDF document. This will make the final PDF as compatible as possible with other PDF Viewers.
