Word '07 to Acrobat 8 changes page layout

If you are importing directly from the doc I too have found that sometimes formatting can be off. Try printing the doc directly as a PDF first then importing it into Acrobat for more work like forms.

Go to Print> Adobe PDF for the printer. Save this in a folder or on your desktop before importing.

I have a similar issue, but the page layout issues don't display until ~10 pages into the PDF file.

Here's the background. I have a 68 page Word document. In Word 2007, I use Acrobat > Create PDF to create the PDF file.In the PDF created, the pages display correctly, until the 11th page of the PDF file, where some of the text at the bottom of the page now displays on the 12th page. This continues throughout the document, pushing content into the next pages.

If I use Print >Adobe PDF, will the conversion settings I've set in Preferences (Add Bookmarks, Add Links, Enable Accessibility) be used to create the PDF file?

I tried photoaz suggestion to Print> PDF, but have the same result. Content is pushed onto the next page, which causes all kinds of layout issues. Any other suggestions?

Layout and pagination in Word is very sensitive to the default printer (the type of printer and the dpi at which it prints). That might be the reason you are seeing this.

Try the following steps;
1. Close all instances of Word
2. open control panel>printers and faxes
3. set "Adobe PDF" as the default printer

Now open your document in Word. You should now see the pagination that would result once the document is printed to Adobe PDF printer and you can modify your document to get the same pagination in PDF as you see in Word.

I experienced this when I maintained a living document in MS Word. Isolated the cause to the page's footer having a vertical spacing that overlapped, by ever so wee an amount, into the text flow. Reduced the footer's vertical spacing fixed the problem. Simplistically, I think of it as Word's what you see is what you print affords one a larger margin in looseness of authoring. However, when changing output from paper to PDF by using a sub-set of Postscript through Distiller we use a more rigorous tool. We get what is, not what we see.

Also, a second on abhigyan's advice to establish "Adobe PDF" as your default printer.

a quick edit -

To "pass through" the bookmarks, links, accessibility, etc. you must use the Convert to PDF for MS Word to output PDF.

Be well...
