Converting from Word to pdf on my iMAC

I am trying to convert a flyer to a pdf. I easily can change a pdf to Word using commands. Would like to do the same in going from Word to a pdf.

iMac 24″, macOS 12.7

Opened file in Word, then I selected file, save as pdf was not an option.

In Word, when you do File > Save As, in the resulting dialog box, under File Format you must select Export Formats > PDF.


(There is no "File > Save As PDF.")


In my experience it is just easier to do File > Print > PDF > Save as PDF

To go from any pdf to Word I followed Apple's directions Command A, Command C, open Word and paste. Why isn't there a counterpart to go from Word to pdf.

I never used to have a problem and I have no clue as to what is going on.

If you don't see these menu items in Word when selecting file > save as

Maybe try asking in the Microsoft Office Help Community
