This is called “flowing.” Depending on the font, the printer selected, and other characteristics of the content, a document may undergo some changes when it is rendered into PDF. If you are using an Adobe product to convert documents to PDF, visit www.adobe.com. Adobe has a set of technical documents posted on their site that refer directly to ways in which you may attempt to address flowing problems. Another workaround is to set your PDF printer as your “Default Printer” before opening the document. After you have changed the default printer, open the document, edit it to correct any formatting errors, save the document, and try printing (converting) to PDF again.
