Are there any workarounds for multiple PDF files created for a single Word 2011 document?

I am running...
Mac OS X Version 10.6.8
Word for Mac 2011
Adobe Acrobat X Version 10.1.0
I am working with 100 plus page Word documents that go back and forth between portrait and landscape layouts. When I attempt to create an Acrobat PDF document (or one using the native Mac PDF function), I end up with 10 to 15 separate PDF documents. One person suggested that I simple stitch them together, which is an inordinate amount of work as compared to how simple it is do on my PC with older versions of Acrobat and Word. However, I have noticed that the margins are way off and the pagination is off sometimes too. So even this workaround is not the answer. I last talked to Microsoft, Apple, and Acrobat tech support about five weeks ago. Each blaming the other two but saying they were working together to solve the problem. My recent searches of forums has not revealed any solutions nor have updates changed anything.
As I am anticipating the day when my old PC stops working, I am searching for a possible workaround or other solution for this problem.

Thanks for your reply.
The tip-off may be this.  In Word 2007 on my pc when I print the document to a printer, Word generates 1 print file for the entire document. If I print to PDF, one print file is generated by Word and Acrobat creates a PDF from this file.
What I just discovered by accident was that when Word for Mac 2011 prints the same Word document to a printer it creates about 10 different print files.  So instead of a 100 page PDF document I end up with 10 PDF documents of 1 to 30 pages depending where the page orientation shifts in the Word document. If you print to a printer that is not turned on, you can see all of the files stacked up in the printer queue. I suspect that Word for Mac 2011 generates 10 different print files during the PDF creation process and therefore Acrobat logically creates 10 different PDFs.  Unfortunately, there are margin errors and other layout errors in these 10 different PDFs so stitching them together is useless.
I am beginning to think that the way Word for Mac 2011 prints documents is simply incompatabile to Acrobat or the PDF creator that is native to the Mac OS.
I just think that this is a problem that Microsoft is going to have to fix.

  • Are there any workarounds for iMacs not having flash?

    I recently purchased a new iMac and browsing the web/web research has been a challenge. Most often than not while browsing safari I run into a limitation due to the lack of adobe flash support. Last night my wife spent a half hour filling out an application and couldn't complete it due to a flash required segment. She had to redo it on our old dell laptop. Is this something I'm just going to have to deal with if I keep my iMac?

    Get the installer here, then close any browsers and install.

    Shouldn't be necessary to uninstall first, but you can move these two to the Trash first.
    In /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    Flash Player.plugin
    flashplayer.xpt
    That's the hard drive Library (not /System/Library)

    Ask your email admin for an alias to your same mailbox without the apostrophe. Don't use it for anything other than your apple id.

  • Are there any shortcuts for creating Value Object Classes?

    Hi,
    I'm using a Remote Object to connect to my server
    (pyAMF/Django). I'm getting stuck with the creation of Value Object
    Classes. It doesn't seem very DRY to have a class on my server
    representing the data model and then have to recreate that class
    and all its properties in my Flex app.
    Are there any shortcuts for creating client side VOs from
    server side data?
    I was thinking about declaring an empty VO class in Flex, and
    then dynamically assigning/casting my Proxy object to that class.
    It seems like that approach may cause problems for the Flex
    compiler though.
    Any hints?
    Thanks!

    data transfer - DTO) object for Java and Flex.
    One thing that has helped me in that area is a free tool from
    Farata Systems called
    DTO2Fx. If you're using Java and Eclipse, it's a great time saver.
    You simply install a (very lightweight) Eclipse plugin, add a
    single annotation to your Java VO classes, and it automatically
    generates your Flex VOs. It even creates a base and extended
    version of each VO on the AS3 side so you can add code to the
    extended VO without fear of having your changes overwritten when it
    regenerates your Flex VOs.
    Here's a like to thier
    PDF that
    gives instructions and a download link. I had it up and running in
    my application in less than 30 minutes!
    I'm using Python/Django serverside (PYAMF is my AMF
    serializer).

    No (except for the costs of having your legal team check the license). You do need to read the license carefully, you are making specific commitments and there are specific restrictions.

  • Are there any fixes for iPad 2 with OS 8.1.1.

    Are there any fixes for the iPad 2 IOS 8.1.1?  I've had problems with Safari and other Apps crashing or locking up, and with extremely slow touch response.  These problems have been occurring since the last update.  At times the iPad becomes unusable.  I have been keeping all programs closed and history and web site data cleared.  Thanks for any help you can give.

    Hi, dannilee,
    I have exactly the same problem. The device was my favorite computer until 8.1.1. Now it runs s-l-o-w-l-y, requires endless reboots.
    To improve the performamce, I have tried these:
    1.Go to Setting->General->Accessibility->Reduce Motion. Turn on.
    2.Reset iPad device settings using Setting->General->Reset->Reset All Settings. Its increase iPad performance little better.
    3.Hold the sleep/wake button and home button upto 8 seconds. This will turn off your iPad. Then turn on iPad. Wait few moments. Do the same thing twice to solve this issue.
    Solution 3 worked for me. And, I always recommend you to backup your iPad first before any action to avoid any data loss.
    Hope it is useful for you.

  • I have Mac OSX Lion 10.7.4, Quickbooks Pro 2010, Parallels Desktop 7 for Mac, Operating in Windows 7.  Are there any recommendations for running Quickbooks Pro 2010?

    I have Mac OSX Lion 10.7.4, Quickbooks Pro 2010, Parallels Desktop 7 for Mac, Operating in Windows 7.  Quicbooks Pro 2010 is not responding or opening currently. Quickbooks does not support Parallels anymore.  I hear Apple Bootcamp is an opton.  Are there any recommendations for running Quickbooks Pro 2010 on Mac?

    QuickBooks Pro 2010 for Mac is not supported in Lion. QB Pro 2011 will work, but I just got an email today that 2011 will not be updated to work in Mountain Lion. QB Pro 2012 will be updated for ML.
    Be aware that the Mac version of QuickBooks is shamefully lacking in features compared to the Windows version. I do use the Mac version, but it has more features than I need for a small business, so it doesn't affect me. No one knows why Intuit seems to hate Mac users, but they show it every day.
    If QB Pro 2012 for Mac can be downloaded as a demo, I would strongly suggest testing with it before making a final decision. You will be able to import the Windows data, but possibly not all of it, depending on the Windows version features you use.
    Boot Camp allows you to install Windows on its own, bootable partition. When you boot to it, you are of course running Windows in every sense of the word. Just on Mac hardware rather than typical PC gear. Your Windows version of QB will work there without issue. The problem is having to boot back and forth between Windows and OS X, depending on what software it is you need to use at the time.

    As far as hardware restrictions, the only one I can think of is that you certainly need enough free space on your hard disk to accomodate the masters from your Aperture library.
    IIn which case, ensure all your masters are "referenced" in Aperture, and that you then go to Options in the Lightroom import box and import photos in their existing locations.
