Word 2003 conversion to PDF (Acrobat 7)

[jhs]

I'm converting a user manual from Word 2003 to PDF. My Word document
headings are formatted using Times Roman Font into sections and
sub-sections.(i.e. Heading 1 - All Caps-Bold, Heading 2 - Italic-Bold,
Heading 3 - Italic, etc.) For some reason, those formats are not reflected on
the my PDF Bookmark. It just shows a regular Font which is built-in with
Adobe PDF Converter. Also, some section numbers on my Word document does not
show on the PDF bookmark. It just show the Section name, i.e. (Section Name
instead of 1.1 Section Name).
Any help or suggestions will be highly appreciated.

Does Word 2003 include a PDF converter? Word 2002 did not.

I examined and downloaded trial versions of several converters but most of
them could not handle bookmarks indexes and headings at all. Most were so
unreliable and needed such a lot of manual intervention that you would be
quicker typing the document again by hand.

I think you need to do a lot more market research on a good converter or go
the whole hog and buy Adobe.

No--but 2007 does. There are heaps of FREE converters - even Adobe gives 5
free trial converters.
Did you try PrimoPDF?

I misread your question - actually on Microsoft there is a "partners" Word
Converter but it is a very limiting trial
