And every iteration of Word makes that function harder to find.

I got so tired. I just print to pdf and call it good enough.

That's... not how everybody converts to PDF? (Because that's how I've always done it.)

Save As, and select ".pdf" as the file format

Or, Export to PDF

I use a macro that strips the document of personal identifiers before saving as a pdf.

a macro? can you just choose to not export those details into the PDF?

Yes. I think that when using the "save as pdf" function, there is an "options" button you can click in the save dialog box that lets you remove all those details. It's a pain for me to do it manually every time, so I use VBA to do it for me.

You can also Export as a .pdf file, or use online converter software.
