Word for iPad Save As PDF

As far as I can tell, there is no way to save a word document (accessed via onedrive) as a PDF from my iPad. I have looked into third party programs to convert onedrive word documents to PDFs, but they mess up our header.

It is important for us to be able to work on word documents on the go, and email out a pdf of the document once complete. When will we be able to save as a PDF?

Thanks, everything else is great so far!

Hello and thanks for the feedback. Glad to hear everything else is working out well for you!

You're correct that Word for iPad doesn't currently have the ability to save as PDF. Thanks for the feedback on this and the explanation about how it impacts your workflow. I'll take this back to the team for consideration for a future release.

    Thanks for the update - the "email as PDF" function is a definite improvement, but it still really misses the "open in" other app as PDF. As a user with unreliable wifi access, I don't always have the option to email it to myself to get the PDF file to work with (the only way I can see to achieve this). 

    Please can we have this soon!

    Otherwise - still the best spreadsheet app for iPad!

    The 1.1 updates for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint for iPad are now live in the app store!

    Check out the blog at http://blogs.office.com/2014/07/31/office-ipad-now-presenter-view-pivot-table-interaction-export-pdf-top-requested-features/

    Awesome! Thanks all! To access the PDF writer from the updated MS Word for iPads:

    click the top right icon of a person with plus sign beside it

    select 'email as attachment'

    select 'send PDF'

    From there you can obviously send it to a recipient or even to yourself.
