Since Word's "Save as PDF" function only works with Word (Or other Office 2007 apps, I think), it doesn't work for <em>any</em> document. That said, it's a really nice touch, though funny how they added that functionality after third-parties like PDF Creator had made it super-easy to create PDFs, often for free. I should also mention that OpenOffice.org also offers the ability to save as PDF, and it's free. AGC: I didn’t neglect it, but I didn’t include it, that’s true.
