Opening and Converting .docx Files

Before 2007, all Ms Word documents were saved in .doc format. Ms Word's new .docx format doesn't use the XML format. Rather, the main body of the document is stored in XML format, but that file isn't stored directly on disk. Instead, it is stored inside a ZIP file, which gets a docx or a docm, dotm and dotx file extension.

To convert docx to PDF files the computer must have Microsoft word software package and a PDF driver installed. Converting the .docx word document to PDF is simple. Below are listed three steps which can easily do the job for you.
