Hello,
I'm using Word 2000, Windows 2000 Pro, and Acrobat 5.0.
I'm converting a 300+ page Word .doc (2058 kb) to PDF using the
"Acrobat|Convert to Adobe PDF" menu selection.
Question 1: What is the direct way to create a PDF with linked index
entries form a Word .doc?
Question 2: In case the answer to question 1 is "No way exists, as
everybody knows," then I ask, is it not remarkable that Word index
entries are not automatically linked?!
Question 3: Can I at least streamline the conversion process so the
Word index tags don't fill the PDF with empty calories? (Elaboration
follows.)
When converting a Word .doc full of index tags to PDF, how do I
streamline the process to minimize the PDF filesize?
It seems to me that the Word index tags are hard for Acrobat to digest.
After I add the index tags, the conversion takes much longer and
produces a much bigger file. Currently, I've indexed about 1/4th of the
..doc and the PDF is 5101 kb.
So the Word .doc with index tags results in a PDF twice the size of one
without index tags, yet the fatter PDF doesn't offer anything more
except a few-page index...correct?
I also converted the doc via printing to the acrobat printer driver and
the distiller. These methods produce a PDF of about 1500 kb, almost
instantly, and have everything (I think) the 5101 kb PDF has except TOC
links. Correct?
Thanks for entertaining my questions.
