Word 2007 to .pdf conversion problems
Hi,
I am using Word 2007 and the "Save As PDF or XPS" function to convert a file to a .PDF. The problem is that I have had several different recipients of these converted files tell me that they cannot read the files and that they are actually tagged as .DAT files. This happens despite my confirmation that the .PDF is saved locally as a .PDF and it does launch the Acrobat Reader without complications on my system. Any ideas? I'm tired of having to fax these documents on to my clients ;-) Thanks! |

Have you tried creating a PDF in another way and sending that to one of the clients in question? DAT files sounds vaguely familier, like bad communication between email applications ... ..2cents Robert -- /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | MSFT | \ / | MVP | Scientific Reports X Against HTML | for | with Word? / \ in e-mail & news | Word | http://www.masteringword.eu/ |

Word 2007 to .pdf conversion problems
A quick check at Google suggests that the problem is associated with Outlook
and sending messages in Rich Text Format which other mail readers, such as Outlook Express cannot handle. Change your e-mail format to plain text or html. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Robert M.
