Create PDF from Word is missing image(s) at the bottom of the page

Question

When I Save As PDF or when I use the toolbar and Create a PDF from word, I often lose an image at the bottom of the page.

Here is a screenshot from my Word doc. The -10 + 8 is missing from the PDF file.

If I try multiple times, occassionally it will work, but not always.

This has been driving me crazy for a long time.

Any guidance would be appreciated.

@matt_9324 This could be due to several factors, including image formatting, page breaks, or even bugs within Word or Acrobat. To troubleshoot, first ensure that your image is positioned and anchored correctly within the Word document (if it's too close to the bottom, this is likely the issue—avoiding placement that might cause it to be cut off during conversion). Second, check your page setup and margins in Word to ensure the image fits within the printable area. Third, try updating both Word and Acrobat to their latest versions, as updates often include bug fixes and compatibility improvements.
