I've tried everything possible to convert my Windows 2013 Word file to pdf format and at 105 pages everything goes crazy starts to change. Paragraphs are lost, spacing is changed, etc. Please help!

Becky,

For best results, click on the Acrobat ribbon in Word (it should be there due to your recent Acrobat DC installation), click on Preferences to ensure you have all the settings and features you want turned on/off, exit that & click the Create PDF button.  My apologies if that is how you have already tried, but there are a few ways to get to a PDF, and this is the preferred technique in nearly every case.

My best,

Dave


Thanks for your assistance but I'm discovering that the problem is with

Word. When I google the issue I see a few other people have had the same

issues.

Can you tell us what version of Acrobat you are using, and what technique you are using to convert from Word to PDF please?

My best,

Dave

I just downloaded Adobe Acrobat DC. My original document is in Word 2013. I

click on save as Adobe pdf. When I preview the file in pdf, the paragraphs

begin to run together starting at page 105. There is a small photo on this

page but the paragraphs preceding and following it and the pages after are

a mess.

If there's any issues that you can address with this info I've given,

please let me know.

Thanks for you help.
