compiling a large Word 365 file with 2600 pages into PDF fails

[Jochen33344898wws7]

I try to generate a PDF File out of a Word 365 file with about 2600 words pages. But during the hours of processing suddenly the word program says, I should save the data which somehow were saved, (I tried to compile PDF with saved data) but no PDF was generated. Any help available? I use Adobe Acrobat 2020. But in word the Adope Printer function.

Sorry, mistake not 2600 WORDS but 2600 PAGES are meant. Sorry again

I corrected your typing mistake.

I was just about to suggest the "Save as" PDF from Microsoft. Acrobat performs some pre- and post-processing.

Instead of the printer use the Create PDF button in the Acrobat ribbon.

Hello and thanks for the posting. Sorry to say, it not worked. Same result. It was running while I was sleeping, but this morning saw same result. I use Adobe Acrobat Prof.

Via Twitter I got the simple question: Did you try to save it in Word as PDF? No I did not do such simple thing. But now I tried, and what should I say, it worked. Save as ... schose .pdf and save. Did not think so simple.
