To convert a Word document to a PDF on a Mac, use an office suite app to export the file as a PDF under the file menu. Microsoft Word is the best option, but other office suites can also do the job. Some formatting issues may occur when viewing documents across different apps or versions. It's recommended to use Word itself for the best results, though a subscription may be required for Microsoft Word on Mac OS.
