If you are exporting a large file with many images, choosing Standard may increase the file size significantly.

If the converted Word doc is essentially text, the difference will be almost unnoticeable.

Then select one of the following options under Optimize for: The Save As dialog window will open, where you select the destination folder, give a new name to the file if needed, and choose PDF (.*pdf) from the " Save as type" drop-down list. In Word 2007, click the Office button > Save as. If you select non-contiguous paragraphs, tables or images on different pages of the document, the Selection option in step 3 will be greyed out. Please be aware that unlike Excel, Microsoft Word cannot export multiple selections to PDF.
