Printing and PDF issues
Hey there,
I have Word 2007 64-bit running on Windows 7 64-bit and have noticed two issues. Spooling to the printer can take forever, and sometimes it never prints. Second, PDFs take awhile to print, sometimes 15 minutes or more for a small document. I think this is because of large files sizes from word documents. I usually have reports with pictures and tables that are from 50 to 150 pages. A typical report (done on Word 2007 32-bit) is about 15,000 KB. But on my word an average report is more like 100 MB. I tried compressing all the pictures and such, but that only knocks down the size to about 85 MB (and these pictures are jpegs on the lowest camera quality setting already). Any ideas? Thanks |

Printing and PDF issues
I rarely work with that large files myself, but I'm told Word should be able to handle large documents without problems (assuming that there is sufficient amount of RAM of course). You could try reinstalling the printer driver.
