Question

Word to Pdf

I am trying to convert a Word doc to a pdf that recognizes the number sequencing that was assigned in the pdf. I have a cover page and table of contents that shows the small lowercase Roman numeral i. If I wanted to print the second page in the pdf, it would actually print the first page. My boss is asking me to format it so when the client wants to print a particular page in pdf it will go to the correct page number. How do I set it so that when people go to print the pdf it actually goes straight to the page they are requesting instead of two pages back? She wants it to be a seamless save between Word to pdf so that when we save the Word document to pdf it automatically sets up the pdf to recognize the page numbers. I am not a developer so the simplest way you can explain this would be most appreciated.

    I don't have an immediate answer for you but it might help others here to know how you're converting your Word document to PDF. Are you exporting PDF from Word or importing Word into Acrobat to export PDF? It can certainly help to list all settings used during the export.

    I'm also assuming since you aren't asking for a programmatic means of doing so, this might be in the wrong forum. Adobe Acrobat forums might be of more help, but we'll see based on your response. If so I can move this there.

    I am exporting from Word to pdf. I know you can go in and change the page numbering in the pdf manually but I am trying to do it from Word directly so that our team does not have to do it manually.

    You're likely to get Acrobat to convert the Word document more intact than Word to export PDF the same way. Do you have Acrobat in your software suite to attempt this?
