Object that is inline with the text of your document-for example, a picture that is not inserted in a frame or text box International character that contains an umlaut, acute accent, grave accent, circumflex, or tilde This problem may affect the following types of characters: When you view your document in Microsoft Word, some characters may be missing, or the top (or bottom) of some characters may be cut off. To avoid this reformatting, the document author should select the Adobe PDF printer driver as the default prior to creating the PDF.This article is a consolidation of the following previously available article: 211272įor a Microsoft Word 97 version of this article, seeįor a Microsoft Word 7.0 for Windows 95 version of this article, see In newer versions of Word, you can turn this functionality off in by using the "Use printer metrics to lay out document" under the Options menu in Word. Word tends to reformat a document based on whatever print driver is selected. Now that I think about it, I don't even know if the author used Acrobat to create the PDF or some other tool instead.Īny ideas on the cause of the problem?With certain versions of Word, this issue can be caused by re-formatting that takes place when the PDF is created. My question relates to how this happens and can it be corrected somehow? The table in question has a line of text just below it so I am wondering if Word tables with text lines immediately below them, are somehow difficult for Acrobat to handle, thus causing the truncated final line of the table? That's just a guess. One of the tables has its bottom cut off so that I can see half of a line of text.I have no idea what form the original document was in when the author created this PDF but it was probably Micorsoft Word.Īt any rate, I seem to recall at least one other instance of this happening with creating a PDF from Word but I cannot recall the details of that earlier example now.
