Have you tried to save a document as PDF in Office2008?
You no longer use PdfMaker, nor do you use the Apple Print Menu.
After you have save a docx version of the document. Go to *Save As*
and mouse down the menu choices until you get to Pdf.
Its seems That MS has come up with there own PDF Converter.
I know for a fact because I have tried it out, and That inserted Page
Breaks now work. I had a copy of the Bylaws to my Association and
previously I had to insert returns to make text fall on correct pages
even after converted to PDF and not to have to stitch the documents
together. I removed all the excess returns and used this and had no
problems.
Its fast as well. I hope they never go back to supporting PDFMaker.
Using it was a slow as a slug crawling.
Try something and report back with findings. I didn't try section Breaks
though.
The problem is that the PDF converters - as do many printers - errantly
handle section breaks in a Word document... Especially if the breaks involve
changes to Orientation or Margin settings. This is a long-standing issue for
which there is no direct solution.
The best workaround is to accept the "broken" PDF then use one of the
[plentiful & free/shareware] programs to combine the separate PDFs into one.

I have a Word for Mac that by printing as pdf file it breaks the file
according the page setup. If the file has a landscape setup ,Word breaks the
pdf file everytime it finds a landscape page.

If it's "fixed", don't "break it"!
