I am looking for a freeware to convert Microsoft Word (.docx or .doc) to PDF.
It would be nice to use this without installation.
I would like it to run on Windows and do not want any online converters - it must be on my computer.

How is it you'd like it to run "without installation"?– rrirowerJan 30, 2015 at 18:14

2OpenOffice or LibreOffice as portable version could do that, though that might be a little overkill ;)– Izzy ♦Jan 30, 2015 at 20:42

Offline but without installation - means you are stuck with what you already have doesn't it?– Paul JowettMay 9, 2015 at 0:44

You are looking for an open source converter which converts Microsoft Word (.docx or .doc) to PDF, and then I found Office To PDF utility that help you to convert you DOCX file into PDF. OfficeToPDF is a command line utility that converts Microsoft Office 2003, 2007, 2010 and 2013 documents from their native format into PDF using Office's in-built PDF export features.

FYI, Word is required to be installed for OfficeToPDF Jan 31, 2015 at 8:45
MS-Word 2007+
What version of Word do you have?in any version after 2007, You should be able to click on "save as" and then, in the "save as type" section, you should be able to select pdf.

As I just found out through Office To PDF in TechMonika's answer, you can also save to PDF from MS Word 2007 with the 2007 Microsoft Office Add-in: Microsoft Save as PDF or XPS.– FriendFXSep 1, 2017 at 6:14

For Windows, I use the FOSS-software PDFCreator.
You don't have to learn how to convert a file, because it acts like a normal printer and so you can generate PDF-, PNG-, JPEG-, SVG-, TIFF-, PS-files and much more from every program with a print-function.
But you will have to install it.
