App communities The page numbers change when I convert the document from word to pdf When I try to convert a word document to pdf two problems arise: 1) The page numbers change (it's different from the original word document) 2) That tables that exist at the end of the word document aren't rendered properly when converted to a pdf as can be seen from the picture below. Originally it looks like this (in the word document) : You'll notice that the page number changed in the pdf and it caused the table to be messed up! I've tried the following: The document has hyperlinks 1) converting the word to a pdf (best for printing) the pages are the same and it's the exact same copy but the hyperlinks and the hyper table of contents doesn't work at all. 2) When I convert it for a pdf (best for electronic distribution) it keeps the links working but the problems above appear (with the tables and the page numbers). I want the pdf to be exactly like the original word document with working hyperlinks. Please, I really need help with this, I've been trying for weeks to make it work and I still have the same issue. (I am on Mac OS 10.13.6, using Word for mac version 16.21, and using Adobe Acrobat Reader and Adobe Acrobat pro DC) convert word file to pdf exporting pdf to microsoft word page number mismatch You're not creating the file using Adobe software. The "Save As PDF" command is an internal Word function. Reader is just displaying the file. So you should ask your question in a MS forum, unless you have reason to believe Word is creating a good file but Reader is not displaying it properly. This usually happens because Word’s layout engine recalculates the page breaks based on the PDF printer driver's margins. It’s super annoying when everything shifts by just a few lines and messes up the numbering. The quickest fix within Word is to make sure your "Paper Size" matches exactly in both Word and your PDF settings before hitting export. If it still acts up and you’re in a rush, I’ve honestly just used TheToolApp to stamp the correct page numbers onto the final PDF afterward. It’s way less stressful than fighting with Word’s formatting for an hour! Hi, hope it helps. I fixed my problem by going to the top menu "Acrobat" -"Preferences"- deactivate "Convert Document Information" This worked perfectly! Sorry for the delay in response. As you are converting the Word document to PDF, would you please let us know the exact steps you do to create PDF?
