[QUOTE="LexLife, post: 1583562, member: 326162"] [b]Creating PDFs from MS Word Files with Multiple Sections and Page Orientations[/b] This responds to the problem of creating a PDF file from Word document in which there are multiple sections, some of which may also have different page orientations (i.e. landscape and portrait). I was having many problems with this before coming up with the following workaround, the idea for which came out of some of the discussions in this thread. The workaround assumes that you have Adobe Pro or some other application that allows you to merge multiple PDF files into one. 1. Within the first section of your Word document, select [B]File, Print[/B], then in the [B]Page Range[/B] window, type [B]s1[/B]. This is the instruction for printing section 1. Click on the PDF down arrow, select [B]Save as PDF ...[/B] and save the file with a name that will allow you to recognize this as section 1 (e.g., your file name followed by s1). You will now have a PDF file for section 1 of the Word document. 2. Repeat step 1 for every section of your document, substituting s2, s3, and so on. 3. Open your first PDF file in Adobe Pro. Select [B]Document, Insert Pages[/B] and then double-click on the second file in the Finder window that comes up. Adobe will prompt you with some choices as to where to place the file. Select [B]After Last[/B]. Scroll down and you will see the new file added immediately after the first. 4. Repeat step 3 until you have added all the files. 5. Save the new combined PDF file with a new name. After doing that, you can also use the [B]Reduce File Size[/B] feature to compress the file if you want. 6. Once you are satisfied that the merged PDF file looks the way it should, you can delete the intermediate files. [/QUOTE]
