Missing text

I have Acrobat Pro 9. When I pdf a document from word 2003, the PDF is missing text that is in the Word document. When I look at the Taskmgr, it shows a process call csrss taking up alot of CPU time.
When I see this I will lose text in the PDF. Sometimes I reinstall and it's all good for awhile but, always comes back.

Thanks for any help

If you have problems with the csrss.exe, you should check the MS knowledgebase for solutions.
Maybe your user profile is damaged or something else.

I have tried every single thing MS has suggested to no avail. I was hopeing this forum would be more knowledgable than MS. This problem happens on 3 different machines. If one pdfs a word doc and it drops text a 2nd machine can pdf without problem. All 3 are: P4 1GB XP-SP3. Running Office 2003, Adobe CS2 Suite, and Quark. No problem pdfing from Quark or CS2. I feel like I'm the only one who has this problem. I have tried everything. Anyone have anything I can try????

I recently installed Acrobat 9 PRO and have been experiencing this same problem. When I begin from a Word doc and "Convert to Adobe PDF", the resulting PDF is often missing chunks of text at the bottom or top of a page. The same Word doc can be converted to PDF without a problem by my colleague who uses Acrobat 8. What do I need to do to fix this? If I have purchased a license for version 9, is it possible to 'downgrade' to version 8?

Thanks.

We have the same issue and it's a major one for us. All of our secretaries have Pro 9.1 and us it to pdf pleadings for electronic filing with the courts. They have to review every page of a pleading to make sure nothing is missing. We are mostly likely downgrading to Acrobat 8 next week.

BTW, it happens mostly to paragraphs that span over to the next page.

I fiddled around endlessly trying to solve this, without success. And I agree that it happens to paragraphs that span two pages. I also work in a legal environment, so having unreliable PDFs defeated the purpose entirely.

So not 10 minutes ago I had my Acrobat 9 un-installed and Acrobat 8 installed in its place. I have not given the Acrobat 8 a thorough try-out yet, though. I will let you know if I have any better luck with Acrobat 8.

please send me via the forum an example of a problem doc file. i'd like to see if i can replicate the problem by experimenting with AA9 and AA8.

Thanks for the offer, but the docs are contracts and so can't be sent to third parties. Since uninstalling Acrobat 9 and downgrading to version 8 I've had no further problems. So I think the problem is not with the docs or the hardware but with version 9.

Just an update - since de-installing Acrobat 9 a couple of weeks ago and installing version 8 instead, I have experienced no further problems. Downgrading appears to be the solution.
