SOLVED: How to download an ISO image for Office 2007 Pro in the year 2018

Mainly security. Some of the security patches were allegedly to fix vulnerabilities which may allow your system to be hacked - but I don't know how real they were. I have a feeling that some bugs were identified and fixed, but can't remember what they were. I'm not interested in additional functionality. Hi Roger, Thanks for answering why you were worried. I can't tell you not to worry, but I pretty much don't worry about that. I got viruses decades ago for sure, in the floppy disc days, but I haven't had a virus in decades (that I know of), so I'm not worried about that (but I can understand if you are - and that's ok - I just wanted to know what you were worried about not being updated). To me it's like owning a 2007 car. It works as well as it did in 2007, which was good enough for me when I bought it. But I would like to be able to save as PDF. I'm hoping the link you cited will fix that, but I'm currently away from my W10 system for a few days so can't test that at the moment. I hope it's still there... let me check... o https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=7 Drat. That's not there anymore. Sorry. Googling the hash "32769F304991D8D5836D9AFADF20DB1FBAF6876F29E5FEB0D 19C5B806A67441D" https://www.herdprotect.com/saveaspdfandxps.exe-4cf2d0791d8668fb4857504a178e883ab3d98533.aspx Dunno if those old links still work but the google found this: o https://archive.org/details/4F059E20CDA1306BF48F1337F23C89FC452A7040 Another option for you is simply to print to PDF, where there are a ton of freeware apps that allow you to print anything to PDf (even Microsoft Windows 10 comes with a print to PDF, doesn't it)?

UPDATE:
Hi Roger, Googling for "SaveAsPDFandXPS.exe" finds more opportunities than googling for the hash did (my mistake). That simple search found plenty of downloads for you to try. Dunno about the "virus status" of these though. Maybe helpful folks like Paul know how to test that stuff better than I can, as I generally don't download from unknown sources... https://techjourney.net/direct-download-link-for-office-2007-save-as-pdf-or-xps-with-no-validation/ https://techsalsa.com/download-office-2007-save-as-pdf-and-xps-add-on/ https://www.filehippo-filehippo.com/2007-microsoft-office-add-in-microsoft-save-as-pdf-or-xps/ https://www.pconlife.com/viewfileinfo/saveaspdfandxps-exe/ https://ccm.net/download/download-24107-microsoft-save-as-pdf-or-xps https://microsoft-save-as-pdf-or-xps-add-in-for.software.informer.com/download/ https://softfamous.com/microsoft-save-pdf-xps/ etc. What I would do if I downloaded any of those, since they didn't come directly from Microsoft, is I would scan them (somehow) and then also doublecheck if any have the same hash as the one from Microsoft does: Name: SaveAsPDFandXPS.exe Size: 956344 bytes (933 KiB) SHA256: 32769F304991D8D5836D9AFADF20DB1FBAF6876F29E5FEB0D1 9C5B806A67441D -- The most helpful Usenet posters generally follow through on their results. |

The point is, this is a system-wide print-to-pdf facility. I think the only reason Windows 10 got it, was to match the Apple OS. Notice that the output to XPS facility still exists. And how many customers could possibly be using that ? Maybe the Smithsonian needed it, to print a sample document entitled "Example of defunct XPS output". Microsoft tried to make a competitor to PDF, and XPS was it. I think they might have even changed XPS at one point, such that the XPS output of one Windows OS, would not work on another Windows OS :-/ (Which is the very purpose of portable document formats.) For those keeping track, a very nice capability (print-to-PDF) exists for: no reason at all. Paul |

Hi Paul, I blurted out my drink when I read that Smithsonian example! o Thanks for the sensibly stated well-intended illustrative humor. Like many, I'm rather old, and I've _never_ needed XPS in my life. o What the heck is the use for it that is practical anyway? As for printing to PDF, I've been adding the PDF driver for decades, as has almost everyone here, at least until MS added it to the OS. The PDF printer driver I used, most, was: o cutePDF Writer https://www.cutepdf.com/index.htm https://www.cutepdf.com/Products/CutePDF/writer.asp https://www.cutepdf.com/download/CuteWriter.exe Where I just noticed it also has a "PDF Editor" freeware??? o CutePDF Editor https://www.cutepdf-editor.com/ Which "seems" to be a webapp of some kind in the browser??? o https://editor.cutepdf.com/ Has anyone used that to _edit_ PDF files? o What do you think of it? -- Usenet allows intelligent adults to exchange ideas on technical issues. |

Particularly because you don't know what it previously looked like unless you ALSO have Office (or a WYSIWYG printout of the document). Maybe - but even if you transfer an MS Word document created on one computer to another computer running MS Word there's no guarantee that it will look the same - depending on the setup of the two computers, available fonts, etc. It's much more likely to look the same if PDF format is used - but it's not then readily editable. I doubt whether the disparity between Office lookalikes is any worse than that between different MS Word setups - particularly different versions. -- Cheers, Roger ____________ Please reply to Newsgroup.

This is interesting discussion between you and Ant, where, personally, I've never found _any_ documentation from Microsoft much help (it seems). Nonetheless, I do have Office 2007 installed, so what I'll do it re-run the installer (although I have to put the C:\MSOCache back I think as I had removed it) to see if "Documentation" is an installation option. Drat. I deleted the C:\MSOCache, where I only have a 400MB older archive; but I can still re-run the installer.
