Hello. I am working with Word and attempting to convert a DOC file to
PDF. Everytime I convert to PDF, a small part of the bottom page (like
half an inch of text) is missing. Does anyone know how I can fix this?
When I look at the document in word, before saving as a PDF, the
document looks correct. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

Simon, how are you making the PDF? Are you using the built-in PDF'ing
capability of Mac OS X, or Acrobat, or...?? You might try another method
from whatever you're using now.

Particularly, if you're using the built-in function, I think it gets
annoyed if a page is too long. What page size is your Word document,
and what are the top and bottom margins?

Thank you for your response Patty. I have been making the PDF by going
to "print" and then saving as a PDF. I've also used one of those free
online converters from word to pDF. I've never had a problem with this
before, so I don't know what the problem is. The document looks how I
want it to look as a doc file, but when I convert to PDF it gets
truncated off just slightly. I'm not sure how to to figure out the
bottom and top margins.
