I am converting a Word 2007 docx file into a PDF using a program. However,
when I manually start the program, the output is identical to the "Save As"
pdf output provided by Word.

The output on some docx files has kerning issues where the letter "v" is
very close to the next letter. I've also noticed differences when using the
"Save As" pdf option, the output PDF file does not exactly match the docx
file. The font I'm using is Arial 10. Also noticed that the kerning issue
seems to appear on text within a Word table.

Any ideas on how to correct this issue would be greatly appreciated as the
documents are legal documents.

Thanks.

I have been unable to reproduce your problem using Arial 10 in a table.
Ensure you have the ISO 19005-1 compliance option checked?
Does it really make any difference to the legality of a document that
certain letters are closer together or farther apart, when a handwritten
document is perfectly acceptable?

Graham,

I appreciate the reply. Where would one fine the ISO 19005-1 compliance
option?
Also, our application is for generating insurance contracts and we create
the documents in Word and save all of the word documents as 1 PDF file. We
do the document packaging for our customers. Our customer's are complaining
about the kerning between some characters. What is strange is that it only
occurs on some of the documents, not all.

Another question: Why is the printed PDF file (used Word to save as PDF)
slightly different than printed Word docx file?

If you click 'options' in the save as pdf dialog box you will find the
options!
While converting a document to a graphical format (PDF) is not perfect, it
is difficult to suggest a cause for the kerning issue without a sample of
the document that caused the problem.
