Subject:Word 2000 to PDF problems From:"Karen E. Black" <kblack_text -at- hotmail -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Wed, 29 Aug 2001 17:31:56 -0400
I just KNOW this has been discussed recently, and I didn't save any of the
messages, and I checked the TW archive and couldn't find anything.
I am using Word 2000 and Acrobat 5.0, and when I try to create a PDF using
the Adobe toolbar on Word, the job fails.
If I use File | Print to the Acrobat Distiller printer (without checking
Print to file), I get a nice little PDF with no bookmarks (I want
bookmarks).
If I check Print to file, I get the Save dialog asking for *.prn instead of
*.ps. Outside of FrameMaker I've never saved a Postscript file before -- how
do you do it in Word??
Can anyone drop some short 'n' dirty tips on creating PDFs from Word 2000
docs? I am just out of practice here...
Thanks in advance,
Karen Black, old, stale technical writer
