Word to Pdf conversion - Margin diffeence

I'm not understanding what you mean by "printing to Adobe PDF printer onlyy after conversion". Do you mean you send the file to Distiller to get a PDF and then printing through Adobe PDF again? Why?

Anyway, if you're using Distiller, I'm guessing that you first "print" the Word file to a Postscript file and then convert that through Distiller.

Check the printer driver settings you're using. It may have a largeer non-printable area than what you have on your Word doc so that it shrinks the contents to fit into that area.

Hi Bill,

As mentioned Im printing to Adobe PDF printer onlyy after conversion if we match the word document with the pdf converted we could see margin difference (pdf have larger margin)

I am not sure why you are talking about using Acrobat Distiller 7. But let me get back to the issue.

1. Select the Adobe PDF printer in the print menu. Then go back and check your document (WORD will reflow a document to best fit).

2. Check the paper size of the WORD document versus the PDF document. I suspect that you did not select the proper paper in the Adobe PDF printer properties. Maybe you are trying to use A4 and the paper in the printer is Letter.

3. You should either print to the Adobe PDF printer or use PDF Maker (the Adobe icon in WORD) to create the PDF. Do not print to file, just print to the printer and the conversion process should automatically be started.
