Thanks, but I expect there to be a number of LARGE files to be done, and not all at once. Ideally, I'll find a program that works, either as freeware or affordable.
I just wasted an entire evening downloading, trying, and uninstalling maybe eight or nine converters that advertise themselves as freeware. Most of them choked on a 6-page document, didn't translate the fonts correctly, and were limited to three or five pages for the free version. And two of them put a big, red watermark on every page to announce to the world that the user is too cheap to buy the upgraded version. That's not "freeware," that's what we used to call "crippleware."
To be honest, I am amazed that there doesn't seem to be something out there that will handle this one task. I've got three programs that will convert Word documents into PDFs, they all work well, and they were all free. The universe of freeware applications has a hole in it.
