My ability to use the Save command to PDF doesn't work
This operation was working fine .... the one day I was unable to use the SAVE command in Word 2007, to save my file as a PDF document. It somehow stated saving them as a corrupt Wordpad file ---- that was complete jibberish. However ---- I can depress the ACROBAT in word and it will covert the file. Is there a way to correct this problem. When trying to use that option Save, the changing to PDF, it performs something --- but the file box shows something to do with wordpad.
There has to be a way to correct this.

What I have do in the past is was:
Having the document that I was working in Word 2007
Then I would use the SAVE command
In the lower FILE Type box --- I would change the type to: PDF
like magic a PDF document.
Somehow NOW ---- when I perform the same steps --- it becomes some type of CORRUPTED wordpad file --- the just plane "jibberish" or garble.
However --- If I have a word document that I'm working on and I select the Adobe button from within word. It will create a PDF document. A few more steps but it does perform the function.

Not sure why you think that it is a corrupted WordPad file.
However, try the fix from Microsoft here:

If you do a Save As, you should be able to choose PDF(*.pdf) from the 'Save as type:' dropdown.
Does that happen?
