Word>PDF

[Guest]

I used to be able to convert word docs into a PDF format but for some reason
now I cant. Any suggestions on why I longer can, and more importantly, how I
can start converting docs into PDFs going forward?

What version of Word are you using?

Were you previously using Word 2007's new ability (Office - Save As)? Or,
were you using Adobe Acrobat or something else? If you're using Adobe, were
you using Adobe's toolbar in Word, or were you printing to the PDF printer
driver?

I was, and still am, using Word 2003 and there was a Adobe header to the
right of the word HELP in the toolbar. I was able to save the doc as a PDF.
Now that header is no longer there.

I also have Acrobat Professional, and for some reason I can no longer open a
word doc here either. It tries to install Acrobat 7.0.9 and freezes.

Are you saying that you can no longer open a Word document using Word 2003?
Or, using Acrobat Pro? If the latter, I'd never even tried that, and I'd be
surprised if it worked.

If the PDF toolbar is gone, I suggest that you open Acrobat, and choose
Help - Detect and Repair.

What about when you open a Word document (in Word) and choose File - Print,
and set the printer to Adobe PDF? Can you still create a .pdf file that way?
Or, is the Adobe PDF "printer" missing too?
