I have a Word 2008 document that I created. I needed to have two vertical
columns of thumbnail images (of paintings), with columns of info about the
paintings. I created a 4-column table in Word, with about 20 or so rows. I
placed the thumbnail images and the text in their proper "cells", and the
document looks great. However, I need to send the doc as a PDF file to
someone who does not have this version of Word, but the PDF that Word creates
is all screwed up. The images seem to be piled on top of one another (there
are 4 piles of images), and the text is there but not aligned properly.
I have tried various suggestions, such as saving as RTF first, but nothing
has helped. I updated Word to the latest version, still no luck. Is this just
a known problem with using Word tables with images perhaps?
Thanks.

Word 2008 is the Mac version. You may have more success in a Mac Word forum.
However, working in Word 2007 with a three column table with thumbnail
images and descriptions (the content of my web page
http://www.gmayor.com/Cyprus_2008.htm with the header information removed to
leave just the main table) the 16 page table reproduced exactly as it
appeared in the document when converted to PDF using Acrobat, Primo PDF and
the Word 2007 PDF add-in from Microsoft.
