Acrobat Support

At times, you may want to print a PDF file in booklet form. Acrobat has some basic booklet options in the print menu. If you open Acrobat and go to Print, you’ll see Booklet Printing under the Page Scaling section. Below Page Scaling, Acrobat has Binding and Booklet Subset options.

If you’re looking for more robust booklet printing features, you may want to consider Quite Imposing, a booklet plug-in for Acrobat endorsed by Adobe.

If you have Microsoft Word 2007 and Acrobat 8 you may initially have problems converting from Word to PDF. When you are in Word and click the Create PDF button, in some cases, no PDF file will be made.

To fix this:

• Open Word and click on the Office button

• Go to Word Options and click on the Popular tab
• Under Personalize Your Copy, make sure that both boxes are filled out
• Click OK, then close and reopen Word

Now the Create PDF button should be working fine

Microsoft Word 2007 works very differently than earlier versions of Word and those differences also affect Acrobat. Today, let’s take a look at the basic method for making PDF files from Word 2007.

• First, open a document in Microsoft Word
• On the top right Word menu click on Acrobat
• Here we have all the main PDF options like Create PDF and Acrobat Comments
• To make a PDF simply click Create PDF
• On the save menu, you have options for Fully Functional PDF and Quick and Simple PDF. The first option converts the document to PDF while retaining the document’s underlying structure. The second option produces a basic, barebones PDF.
• Chose a PDF type and then click Save to create your new file
