Adobe acrobat creating PDF probelms

wijcc · 11 Sep 2013 at 13:42

Hi guys... i have adobe acrobat 9.5.5... i am having problems creating a pdf of a word document which has graphs in it. But when i create the pdf, some of the borders to the graphs have disappeared and the text on some of the graphs also disappeared. If i print the word document out it prints out completely fine.
I tried downloading primo pdf and have the same problem with it too.
Can anyone offer any more advice?
Thanks in advance.

I use CutePDF as I find it the best to use. Maybe give that one a go, its free and a only a small program (~2MB)

word itself can export to pdf - assuming you have 2007 or later.

As said, have you tried using Word's export to PDF function?

I think the way round this (to create pdf from word document) is to go to Margins >Custom Margins > then edit the margins top and bottom to create a printable area.

When you export as PDF should be OK.

Try this I think maybe extending your margins will help. :cool:

Can you save it as an XPS, then open that and print to pdf?

Adam_101 · 11 Sep 2013 at 16:12

try going to Page Setup > Paper > Paper Sizes > select custom sizes > then put in the height and width you require. Mate just said he tried this once and solved his problem, never know! - Also said with this set all your margins to 1.

Is the document private? Just thinking maybe I could try for you at my end and see if I get the same results?

I use PDF Creator (http://www.pdfforge.org/). Very lightweight and it doesn't bitmap the documents like some others. After installation it sets itself up as a printer, so it will work with any application that can print.
