Or if you have Adobe Reader/Acrobat installed, word has a button right under save as that says Save As Adobe PDF. Or you can print to PDF using the Adobe print function in the printers. Lastly windows has a built in PDF printer by default. All of these work pretty damn reliably. If you canât save a PDF from a word doc, itâs either your computer or you.

Youâre showing your privilege lol
When you save an office file to PDF and you are in a OneDrive environment, it doesnât save it locally - it saves it to the cloud, and then downloads it locally. itâs fucked up
Iâm not going to fault people for having trouble when the âsave this file as PDFâ option doesnt result in a PDF immediately in the save directory

Interesting considering I can save as a PDF while offline

if I remember next week, Iâll try to save one while offline and see what happens
I can tell you that if I use âsave as PDFâ while online with onedrive not running (whether because I shut it down or because it crashed and didnât restart itself), the pdf will not show up locally for me
