When I save a word file to pdf using Adobe Acrobat DC, some of the text does not show up properly italicized as they are in the word document. This only happens on my PC. I have a coworker that will do this same action and the texts pdf's properly italicized. I cannot figure out why this is happening only to me.

When I use the Print to pdf method everything is fine, except I loose my hyperlinks. I have to use the Save to pdf option. Please help me figure this out.

I had the same problem and figured that instead of saving the word file as pdf, print the file and select "Microsoft Print to PDF" from the list of 'printers'. It worked for me.

posting even it's years late, maybe some might still find it helpful

If you have the PDF Maker (it's in the ACROBAT ribbon in Word "Create PDF" button, and is part of the Acrobat installation), that would be your best bet for converting from Word to PDF, in my experiences. If your installation offers that option, give it a try.

I hope this helps.

My best,

Dave

Dave,

I have tried that as well. I get the same results, some text that is italicized in word does not come over in italics in the pdf.

Thanks for your input though,

Banita

Are you maybe using a peculiar or 'broken' font/typeface? The PDF Maker generally does a good job at keeping the doc's fidelity intact.
