PDF export from Word 2007

[SAP guy]

Hi,

I'm having problems with PDF export. I have an English document with
occasional Greek and Hebrew words. When I export to pdf the Greek is okay
but the rest of the paragraph after the Hebrew word is scrambled. Subsequent
paragraphs are okay. I imagine that this is a problem with the language
auto-detect and the right to left language. I have not checked this with
Arabic but it may exhibit the same problem.

For me the bibliography/citation engine and the pdf export are the key
features of the new version. I work in both IT/science/engineering and
academic theology so my documents are complex and have embedded
equations/images/non-Latin (English) text.

I am running Windows XP Professional 64bit on a dual-Opteron box. Will
there be a 64bit compile of Office 2007?

Thanks,
John

Hi John,

MS has pulled the save as PDF feature, though indications are that it'll
still be available as a free download.

Cheers

Are they removing it because of legal issues with Adobe?

Yes, although this is pretty idiotic given how many other products
(including the Mac OS) include PDF support.
