TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
New to the list (digest mode). Regrettably, where I work these days
all of the docs are written in MS Word (oh, the humanity!) and then
converted to PDF for distribution to the clients. Some of the Word
docs reach 200 pages.
I've been using AA 6.0 Pro to make the conversions, but it choked on
one the other day, and the end result is that the little "convert to
PDF" toolbar buttons are AWOL (there is no View>Toolbars>PDF Maker
menu option), and when I open AA 6.0 Pro and tell it to create a PDF
from file foo.doc it appears to start working, but then goes idle and
no output is actually produced. I have re-installed 6.0 Pro and still
no joy.
Thoughts?
Thanks!
Bob
