Please say what operating system you're using. There's a
known problem in Windows NT that I can help you with. If
you're not on NT than it's something else.

Subject: Help needed: Word doc to PDF
Hi all,
I am new to the field and I am new to the list :-)
I was quite excited when I first round the list, and I've
been reading
for about a couple of months now.
The information is only too useful and the tips are great.
Now, I've been having this problem which I need help from
you experts.
I am trying to turn a word doc into a PDF file with Acrobat
Distiller 5.
This word doc is not in A4 size (something much smaller),
and I have
adjusted the Distiller/PostScript Printer settings
accordingly.
However, no matter what I have done with Acrobat products,
the word doc
always comes out as a A4 size PDF file.
I sent the doc for another writer for help, and obviously
her Acrobat
products were acting much nicer and did the job beautifully.
Unfortunately we haven't been able to nail down exactly what
settings
can induce Acrobat to perfom this job correctly.
Could someone give me a hand on this? Thanks a lot!! :-)
Best Regards,
Debby
