Save as PDF' splits MS-Word Sections into separate PDFs

This is more of an FYI than a question,
Original topic: http://discussions.info.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8068226 it has already been archived and I can't reply to it.
Problem description: when printing a single work document to PDF two PDF files are generated and the original content is divided between the two PDFs. This only appears to affect MS word as preview and text edit print fine.
Possible fix: For the file in question, MS word 2008 had a hidden section break after a return character in the middle of the document. it didn't show up even after show non-printable characters was enabled. Pressing return a few times after the last return character flushed out the offending section break, deleting it fixed the issue.
The file was originally composed on a PC running Office 2003.
Hope this helps!

Hi Nigel,
I just created a new document in Word 2004. I typed in one line of text then inserted a page-break section, and typed text on the second page.
When I print, and save to PDF, it generates one PDF document with 2 pages in it.
I have routinely saved-to-PDF larger 20 or 30 page Word documents with multiple sections, and they have saved to single PDF files.
Have you installed something different or extra to allow PDF generation?
I am currently using Leopard, but this also worked the same in Tiger and probably earlier.
As a work-around, open one of the PDF files in Preview, open the side tray (if it's not already) and drag the other files into their prospective locations in the tray. Then save the PDF and they'll all be in one file.

  • Splitting dual book pages into separate pdf pages

    I have a book scanned into pdf with two book pages per adobe page (side by side). How can I split the pdf page in way that each book page becomes its own pdf page? My chief concern is that one side is always tilted which makes reading and highlighting difficult. Any help would be great. I have Acrobat 9 pro on vista. thanks.

    I have had to do this in the past, but the problem is the file size then
    doubles. I haven't figured out an easy to way to remove the data from the
    cropped areas.

  • How can I convert a word file into a pdf and then upload to a web site?

    I need to convert a word document into a pdf and then upload it to a web site so people can read it from my
    site. How can I do this? Can anyone please help? I'm only a newbie. Thanking you in anticipation.

    Hi there,
    There's actually an easy streamlined way to do this using Acrobat.com. Here are the steps:
    1. Log in to Acrobat.com with your Adobe ID.
    2. On the left, you'll see a navigation menu that includes the item "Import and Edit". Click that.
    3. Choose the .doc (Word) file you want to convert and upload it to Buzzword.
    4. After making sure that it looks the way you want it to, go to the top menu (still in Buzzword now, not the organizer where all your files live) and click the document menu. There will be an option to "Export" - choose that.
    5. When prompted to select filetype, choose "Adobe PDF" and press OK.
    6. It'll save to your desktop, so now you have to get it into your acrobat.com organizer. To do that, close the Buzzword document by clicking the little "x" in the upper right corner, under the Sign Out button. This'll get you back to your organizer, where you can choose "Import" from the left nav menu again. This time choose your new PDF file.
    7. Select the  file icon in the organizer and click the Share button. Or, select Share  from the file context menu.
    8. Select Allow Anyone With A  Link To Share This Document to set the document to open access, and then  click Copy Embed Code. The necessary HTML code to embed the preview is  copied onto the clipboard.
    9. Open the HTML file and paste  the code into the file. The Flash previewer can display any file type  that you can convert to PDF.
    Hope this helps! Good luck, and let us know how it works out.

  • How do I convert a word document into a pdf and then upload it to a web site

    How do I convert a word document into a pdf and then upload it to a web site so people can read it from my
    site with Dreamweaver 4?. How can I do this? Can anyone please help? I'm only a newbie. Thanking you in anticipation.

    First you need to install a means of printing to pdf from word.  I like cutepdf writer ( http://cutepdf.com/Products/CutePDF/writer.asp ).  Once installed you will print the doc in word and under the printer selection you choose pdf.
    Once you have the file you put it in your local site folders and upload it using Dreamweaver.  Be sure to link to it from a page so users can get to it and I would recommend giving the link a target of _black so it will open in a new window (see the properties inspector in DW).

  • I want to import a MS Word Index into a .pdf file using Adobe Pro.  How do I do that?

    I want to import a MS Word Index into a .pdf file using Adobe Pro. It is for a book.  The book has been converted to a .pdf for printing, but it needs an Index for the last page of the book.  I tried to embed a new index (starting from scratch but no luck.  Any suggestions?  Thank you for your time.

    Now I want to search this "myArrayStrings.get(r)" in another file. How to do that?Store the returned String. Do the same thing you did to read the first file to read the second file (i.e. read it in line-by-line and store the lines in a list). Then check if that list contains the String you stored from the first list.
    E.g. (using your code):
    String name = myArrayStrings.get(r); // assuming r is initialized somewhere before this
    if ( otherList.contains( name ) ) { // assuming otherList is your second list
        // do something
    }

  • Hello! I would like to know the procedure to turn a word document into a PDF document via Adobe Reader.

    Hello! I would like to know the procedure to turn a word document into a PDF document via Adobe Reader. Do I have to pay for it or just sign up? Thank you in advance.

    "...the procedure to turn a word document into a PDF document via Adobe Reader." 
    Not possible.
    No version of Adobe Reader can:
    --| create PDF 
    --| manipulate PDF page content  
    --| export PDF page content
    Adobe Reader XI does provide a "connection" to various Adobe hosted online subscription services (that are under "acrobat.com").
    There is a subscription services can create PDF from supported file formats that are uploaded to the service.
    This subscription service is "PDF Pack".
    With an active (paid up) subscription to a service one can make use of the service.
    Be well...

  • Why when I am converting a word doc into a PDF are some of the pages moving around. It appears to be

    Why when I am converting a 50 page word doc into a PDF using Acrobat XI Pro the pages are moving around.
    It appears to be happening in the places where the previous page is not a complete full page, just a half page.
    It is moving these pages up into the previous half page, but it is only moving them several lines into that page
    Which has totally distored my e-book.
    It is attaching all my pattern sheets at the very end of the file okay, etc.

    Also, to be more sure you get in the PDF what you are seeing in WORD, go to the print menu and select the Adobe PDF printer, then go back to editing. The is a feature of almost all word processors to reflow the document for best results with the attached printer. It is also one of the problems of using WORD forms that such form designers miss. If you don't like the reflow, many the Adobe PDF printer your default and always print to Acrobat. If you want it to go to a printer, then print from Acrobat to that printer and it should remain intact. The other way to avoid the reflow is to use a layout program like Publisher or InDesign.

  • How to convert a word document into the PDF format?

    Please instruct me step by step on how to convert several Word documents into the PDF format?

    If properly installed and updated (depending on the WORD version), you can simply do any of the following:
    1. Open the doc in WORD and select Print, choose the Adobe PDF printer, print.
    2. Open the doc in WORD and go to the Acrobat menu in WORD and select create PDF (this uses PDF Maker).
    3. Open the doc in Acrobat and the conversion should be done based on PDF Maker.

    Hi wertheca,
    If you have Acrobat, (full version), you can convert a file to PDF by choosing File > Create > PDF from File. Then you choose your Word document, and click Open to convert the file to PDF.
    If you don't have Acrobat, you can use an Acrobat online services subscription to convert almost any format of file to a PDF with just a click or two. For more information, see Acrobat Plus, PDF Pack, Export PDF & More | Acrobat Document Solutions
    I hope this helps.
