When you are working with documents using the Microsoft Office Word 2010 word processor program, you might want to save you document as a PDF (portable document format) file in order to add protection to the file when sharing it. By saving your document as a PDF file, you can make sure that no changes can be made to the document and you can also condense the file size. However, you can also make sure the document is saved as a high-resolution PDF during the saving process.
