Word refuses to convert one particular word document to pdf
I have a largish Word document, approx 8 Mb, which I'm unable to convert to
PDF format. I'm using Adobe v. 7 professional. It starts the process and then just hangs. I have updated Adobe with latest updates. Any ideas?? Grace |

Word refuses to convert one particular word document to pdf
Some Word documents are just too complex for Acrobat. And some take a *very*
long time, so that it looks like Acrobat has frozen. Some things to try --- 1. Run it with the Task Manager displayed, and watch if Acrobat is really hanging, or just busy in the background. 2. Print it to Adobe in parts, then combine them later. Instead of using the Create PDF toolbar or menu, use File Print and select Acrobat as the printer. Do pages 1 - 10, then 11 - 20, and so on. This will also show if there is a single page causing a problem. (To combine the parts, open the first part in Acrobat, then go to Document Insert pages.) "Grace Slade" wrote in message ...
