Subject:PDF maker recommendations needed From:dodd -at- teleport -dot- com To:techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com Date:Wed, 25 Oct 2006 08:25:58 -0700 (GMT-07:00)
Hi, all:
I need some recommendations for a PDF maker software. I need to be able to keep links, bookmarks, cross-references, headers, and footers. I'm currently using Word 2003 on Windows XP.
Right now I have Acrobat Standard 7.0. I've tried to make PDFs using both the buttons in the menu of the Word interface and from Acrobat directly. In both cases, it keeps the bookmarks, and active hyperlinks and cross-references, but not the headers and footers.
I also have the option to Print to File using the Adobe PDF printer -- under the Printers & Faxes control panel > Adobe PDF > Properties dialog box, for "model", it says is Adobe PDF Converter, but no version number, so I'm not exactly sure what this is. This option keeps the headers and footers, but not any of the bookmarks, or active links or cross-references.
Can you all recommend a PDF maker software for me?
Also, I need a converter that turns PDFs into Word documents. It would be ideal if it could somehow keep styles of some sort, but this is probably asking too much.
Please respond to the list. If you respond directly to me, you'll get caught in my spam filter.
