I'm trying to create a pdf document from a Word 2007 document with page setup Orientation, 'Landscape' and Pages, 'Two pages per sheet.' The document was originally created in Word 2003. The whole document is four 'pages' long but each of those 'pages' is half of an 8 1/2 x 11. So it's really a two page document and prints on just two sheets of letter size paper. Acrobat does not seem to 'see' that this document is set up to have two pages per sheet, that it is really just a two page document.
It creates a four page pdf file. This did not happen with Word 2003. The pdf created from that version was an exact duplicate of the word document - two pages.
'windwarner' wrote in message. Thanks Doug, Is this a common problem with Microsoft software - that they take something that works and redesign it so it doesn't work anymore? When I saved this same word doc as a pdf in Office 2003 it created a perfect duplicate - a two page document. Now it doesn't. Seems to me I've had this type of problem more than once before.

Answered I am working in Microsoft Office Word 2007, Adobe Professional 8.0, and on a PC. I am trying to save a Word document into a PDF.
In Word 2007, there is a 'Save As' feature that allows you to save it directly as a PDF. When I do this, my page numbers go from 'Page 1 of 21' and 'Page 2 of 21' (and so on) in the Word document to 'Page 1 of 1' and 'Page 2 of 2' (and so on) in the PDF. I've tried going into Adobe, and 'creating a PDF from file,' but I get errors. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thank you in advance, Brenda.
I also have the same problem, but via a different route. I am working in MS Office Word 2007 and Adobe Standard 8.0 with Windows XP.
When I use the 'Acrobat' menu in Word (or selecting 'Adobe PDF' from the Save As menu) it delivers the same page numbering issue (i.e. 'Page 1 of 1' and 'Page 2 of 2' rather than 'Page 1 of n'). My default setting is to create a 'Fully functional PDF'. I have found that when I deviate from my default setting and select 'Quick and simple PDF' that the page numbering is correct. I have yet to determine exactly what the fully functional PDF delivers compared to the quick and simple version, but I think it is associated to bookmarks and tagging features. Never mind - I found the issue, it appears to be macro related. I went to the Trust Center in Word 2007 and updated the setting from 'Disable all macros with notification' to 'Disable all macros except digitally signed macros'.
While this is less secure, my page numbering works now. Clearly Acrobat is using some kind of macro to create the PDf, but the only warning I get about macros is when saving in docx format with the compatibility box checked - cannot save VBA Project in a macro free document.

Thank you in advance, BrendaI have the same problem, but none of the answers you got worked for me. I have Office 2007, Acrobat Standard ver.8.1.3 and Win XP Professional. I usually combine files, but the problem also orrurs when converting one single file. I have to use bookmarks and links, so this function has to work as well. Does anybody know what to do, other than changing back to Office 2003? This is a real issue. For me this issue started after Office 2007 upgrade.
I could reproduce this issue more than 90% of my testing. May be I did testing more that 100 times, in different situations. I worked with Microsoft and Adobe regarding this issue. They both could reproduce the same issue on their test environment. I found a temporary fix from the internet for fixing this issue and that worked 100% of my testing.
Please see below: Click Office Button - Word Options - Advanced Tab - Check 'Print XML' option.After setting setting 'Print XML' checked pagenumbering is showing correctly in PDF conversion. I checked with Microsoft they are saying this option has nothing to do with Page numbering. Anyway this fixed my issue so I stopped researching on this for now. ALSO THIS IS WORKING FINE AFTER ADOBE 9 INSTALLED. My environment: Office 2007/Adobe 8 with all the latest patches. Word documents are creating in Word 2003 Compatibility mode.
I have tested with Office 2007 SP2 also, but didn't help.
