Random text disappearing when Word document is PDF'd
This is strange. I see clearly in your examples that paragraphs (may) disappear. In the "Deidentified Proposal - no cover" document, the problem seems to occur for paragraphs following an "in line" text box.
However, I'm unable to reproduce the issue on my system (Windows 11, Word 2021). Here, I can use Word's built-in converter and get a PDF with all the content present (as far as I can tell). I'm uploading the PDF here.
Stefan_Blom - been running other tests. When I use the built-in PDF converter it works better, but I was able to find a PDF even that way that drops text. The 2 files that I provided that you tested -- I PDF'd them via the Word app in Browser and it didn't drop any text. I'm wondering if uninstalling/reinstalling the desktop app may fix the issue. Going to pursue that lead. Thank you for testing on your end for now. Happy holidays if I don't get back soon. 🙂
I'm glad you have seen some improvement on this. 🙂 Of course, anything that occurs intermittently will be difficult to troubleshoot.
Happy Holidays!
