    Problem solved by by-passing PDF conversion and printing directly from Word using booklet creating plug-in. More details here: PDF won’t print properly - some letters squeezed together

    Hi karahkwenhawi,

    It looks like you're running into some font issues with the conversion. To test, please try converting it via Reader, with OCR disabled. For instructions, please see How to disable Optical Character Recognition (OCR) when converting PDF to Word or Excel.

    Please let me know how it goes.


    Best,
