My document seems to change when I make it into PDF; whats happening?
Adobe calls this “flowing”. Depending on the font, the printer selected, and other characteristics of the context, a document may undergo some changes when it’s rendered into PDF. Using Distiller instead of PDFwriter is supposed to better preserve the document’s original appearance, according to Adobe. Adobe has a good set of technical documents at their web site. There is one that speaks directly to ways in which you may attempt to address flowing problems. Another work-around is to set your PDF printer as your “Default Printer” before opening the document, then open the document, edit it to correct any format errors, save it and try printing (converting) to PDF again.
