Word 2003 to PDF - Content Page Numbering Problem
I'm experiencing a very annoying and time consuming problem while trying to
convert Word (2003 SP3) documents to PDF (v. 9.2.0). I've posted this on an Acrobat forum too as I don't know where the problem lays. My Word documents have a table of contents showing page numbers (that are numbered correctly) but, when I convert to PDF using printAdobePDF for some reason the page numbers on the contents page change, it would appear, randomly. The page numbers in the footer remain unaffected (i.e. stay as they should and as referenced in the Word table of contents): only the numbering in the table of contents in the PDF'd version changes. I've tried using CutePDF but this suffers from the same problem. I've also attempted to use the 'Convert to PDF' toolbar from within Word. In this instance the problem becomes weirder still as the process seems to dump random numbers in front of text (e.g. the report title may suddenly go from 'Dependent Development' in the Word document to '67Dependent Development' in the PDF'd version. I've applied all available updates to Acrobat and Word but the problem persists. Can anyone please help? Kind regards Peter |

Word 2003 to PDF - Content Page Numbering Problem
Try changing the active printer to Adobe PDF which will cause the document
to reflow to that driver. Make any adjustments that you may then need and then convert using the Acrobat add-in. If that doesn't fix it, there may be some minor corruption in the document. http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/CorruptDoc.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org pjelliott wrote: I'm experiencing a very annoying and time consuming problem while trying to convert Word (2003 SP3) documents to PDF (v. 9.2.0).

Thanks for the suggestion. Tried that and, unfortunately, the problem persists.
