yes if you have an office converter to pdf its a good solution.i dont know if this tool is integrated on office after office 2007?
in office 2007 must download an add on.
i posted a relative code for office2007 but i cannot access to it in my posts here( must be a suscriber).

all is not lost ,this is the code:

*https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=7
*This download (934ko) allows you to export and save to the PDF and XPS formats in eight 2007 Microsoft Office programs.
*It also allows you to send as e-mail attachment in the PDF and XPS formats in a subset of these programs.
*install it as addon (office 2007 already installed).
