If you have Adobe Acrobat (not just the Reader), you can print to PDF format;
just pick a PDF printer driver in the Print dialog box (Ctrl+P).

Did you install Acrobat 8 after Word 2007? If not you will probably need to
update and reinstall in order for the relevant add-in components to be
added. When correctly installed there will be an Adobe tab on the ribbon.

First check Office Button > Word Options > add-ins to ensure that the add-in
is not disabled.

There are two ways:
1. If you have any brand of PDF writer installed (e.g. Adobe Acrobat), you
will have a PDF printer in your printer dialog. Print your Word doc to that.

2. You can download an add-in for Office 2007 that provides a MS version of
a PDF maker - it also installs a printer that produces PDF files.

Next to the answers given here by others, I would like to point out that as
of Word 2007 SP2, Word has its own PDF creator. It can be found under "Save
As" "PDF or XPS". If you have version of Word 2007 without SP2, you can
still download an add-in from the MS website with the PDF functionality.

My experience is that the quality of the PDF is as good as the one generated
by Acrobat but it is generated a lot faster. Especially when you convert
documents of a couple of hundred pages.
