![]() It gives you capabilities with your PDF files that you cannot find in other tools. If you aren't using Windows 10, there are any number of PDF printer drivers available through an internet search, many of them free.įinally, if you are generating PDFs routinely (weekly or even daily), you may want to consider investing in Adobe Acrobat. Since it uses a different method of creating the PDF than the one used by Word, there is a good chance you will get a different (and hopefully satisfactory) result. If you are using Windows 10, this is easy-choose "Microsoft Print to PDF" as your printer, and you can let Windows create the PDF for you. Instead of relying on Word to do the conversions, you could simply use a PDF printer driver. One is to change the way you are generating your PDF files.

If one of those can be converted and the other cannot, you now know where the problem lies. In the first copy, delete the second half of the document, and in the second copy delete the first half. In Windows, make two copies of the problem document. There is a troubleshooting process you can go through to track down the specific problem.

She wonders how she can track down what might be causing the problem. Anne tried resaving the document under a different name, but no luck. (She uses File>Export>Create PDF.) Anne recently tried this with a fully edited 30-page document and all she gets is "The export failed due to an unexpected error."
