PDF Maker in Office X

[Tony]

I have a 15 page report I did in Word X on my Mac. It has two Sections.
A 1 page cover sheet and then the 14 page report. When I make a PDF
out of this, it makes a separate PDF for each section. It doesn't matter
if I use the PDF maker, the PDF maker to email, or the PDF maker in the
print dialogue.

I have Acrobat Reader and the full Acrobat 6 Pro in the CS package, but
I'm using Office to make the PDF. I've been poking around seeing if
there is some kind of setting in a preference or something, but can't
find anything. Plus what would be the point of making a separate PDF
of each section?

Help! Anybody ever deal with something like this?

Yeah, it;'s a pain but sections print as separate documents from Word X
when you flash a PDF :-\

You can use the PDF virtual printer from acrobat to flash your PDF
(thogh I have no idea whether it will help or not)> No matter what,
Acrobat 6 is pretty good at merging PDFs into one only file. THat's
definitively what I would do.

Thanks fo much for the info. I wasn't aware it was so easy to combine
PDF's in Acrobat 6 pro.

Yeah, they really improved it in this version )

It really solved the problem. I'm still not clear
why it would be desirable to break a document with multi sections into
separate PDF's, but I imagine there's a reason somewhere.

I'm not so sure it's intended... It could be a bug (either in Word or in
the PDF engine in the System).

Your suggestion really did work. Thanks.

I'm glad it did, thanks for posting back and let us know
