Default print to pdf sometimes doesn't match the original word doc

On occassion when i print a word file (Word 2003, Windows XP Professional) to
pdf (Acrobat Professional 8.0 - it also did this with version 7.0), sometimes
a line of text or a couple of words at the end of a page will jump on to the
next page. Then the word doc will show that change after its done converting.
The page will be blank, except for that one line of text. When I try to fix
it in the word doc, it wont go back to the previous page (even though that is
how it originally was). The document contains only text and tables.

I think it has to do with the formatting of the paragraphs (keep with next
or keep lines together). Does anyone know if that is an issue when printing
word files to PDFs?

To ensure there are no formatting issues
(http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/TextReflow.htm) set the Adobe driver
as active printer and format the document to that driver.
