Every time I try to convert an MS Publisher document to a PDF file, the formatting changes. Why?

It moves lines down so that some are missing. I try to adjust my Publisher document and sometimes it works but sometimes not.

Why is this an issue and what can I do to correct it?

Thanks!

It has to do with the programming. The easiest workaround, if it is available to you, is to use Adobe Acrobat (not Reader), and you can change the position of the text.

However, I found a few other workarounds, it seems that Acrobat is not good at recognizing all fonts, so if your using an outside font, you might want to consider checking the check box that says use local system fonts on your computer, or change the document to use a universal font, such as Arial.

Hope it works.

Hi dawnnny,

I'd be happy to help, but need a few more details. What are you using to convert the file to PDF? Does this problem occur with one publisher file or many?

I look forward to hearing back from you.

Best,

Sara

Hi Sara - I'm using the Acrobat Create PDF program. I've had this happen several times but not every Publisher file. That's why I can't figure out why it works at times and other times, it doesn't. Any help you can offer would be appreciated. Thank you! ~Dawn
