I’m sure just about every Mac user has figured that out or will in the near future. What about the other way around??

OMG I feel so dumb. Okay, I had to submit a physics lab report by 1pm today, I tried to convert my word doc online, but my file was too big… then I figured out why my file was so big and fixed it (which dramaticly decreased my file, YAY!)… so I try to convert my word doc again, and it would not convert some of the pictures (all the online converted did this). So I find a free converter that I can download from the apple website, and that one does not convert ANY of my pictures… So I explain all this to my TA for my physics lab, and he says he’ll convert it for me, I just have to email it to him. While I wait for him to convert it, I try to do it myself because I need to figure it out, I stumble across this site and I try it and it converts in literally 3 seconds… I’ve seriously spent about 2 hours trying to convert this stupid doc into pdf, and this way works in 3 secs! Oh gosh, the time I’ve wasted. Oh well, I know for next time. But THANKS! This really is a help.

My mac won’t do this anymore - now it just makes a blank pdf. Any idea why or how to fix it?
