Question

Extra lines showing up when saving Word doc as PDF?

I tried to save a Word document (2010 version) as a PDF, but the PDF had lines that shouldn't be there. In the attached photo, there are sections with two columns of text, and each column has the lines. I created the lines using an underscore leader in the Tabs window. In other words, when I type "Name:" and press Tab, it appears as Name:______, with the line going to the far right tab (it's easier and looks nicer than just using a bunch of underscores.) When I saved the document as a PDF, it looked like the lines not separated by text were connected. How can I fix that? I hope what I'm describing makes sense.

Hi tuckern3997614,

Sorry for the delay in response. 

Would you let us know the exact steps you used to create this pdf file?

If you choose File>SaveAs and choose .pdf from the drop down of file format. I would suggest contacting Microsoft.  

If you have used PDFmaker I would request sharing the word file with us: How to share a document 

Will be waiting for your response.
