Why does the Convert to PDF button in Office sometimes fail?
The PDF conversion button in Microsoft Office sometimes doesn’t work for documents that are large or complex, so an alternative PDF conversion option has been installed on the CSDE terminal servers — a free program called PDFCreator. To use PDFCreator, first open your document and select Print from the menu. You’ll see PDFCreator available as a printer name. When you print your document to it you’ll be asked for an output PDF filename, and the conversion program will take care of the rest.
