When trying to create a pdf from a Word document (latest version) I suddenly am getting this message in random footnotes in the document:

"Error! Main document only." I have no idea what this is and nothing seems to get rid of it.

Hi Normanr,

As you get the error message while trying to create PDF from the Word file, it seems that the issue is with the Word file.

You have mentioned above that you get the "message in random footnotes in the documents". Could you please elaborate.

Please share the exact workflow you do when you get the error message.

Would it be possible to share the Word file with us? We would like to check it on our end.

We will be waiting for your response.

Tank you for your reply. I have followed your instructions and here is the link for my document:

The error message in this document appears in almost every footnote from no. 4 on, as you can see. I think you are right that this is a Word problem but I don’t know how to fix it. Any help will be appreciated.
