MicrosoftRandom text disappearing when Word document is PDF'd
Within maybe the last 2-3 weeks, when my teammate and I create a PDF from a Word document, random text is disappearing. All the text in our files is formatted with paragraph styles. Sometimes heade...
EGTucker - I had eaxactly this issue and I found that updating Word (I have the 64 bit desktop app) solved it.
I also have the desktop version of Acrobat DC (with CC sub), so that was also up to date.
Having inline images seemed to be the main cause for me. Strangely I had at times the line of text with the image missing and at times the entire paragraph that had an image would disappear. In every instance the image was still in the PDF - just the text was missing (not even a text box when using "edit PDF" in Acrobat

MicrosoftYes, I still have this as an ongoing issue. The best way I can find to "solve" it is to do as Stefan (and others) recommended - by "saving as PDF" from the browser app. But... it shouldn't be doing that at all. I think it could be a bug from the Windows 11 update, as it never happened to us before. (Sometimes I don't even have an image and text randomly disappears.) Thanks for posting.
- For future purposes I’ve renamed Word to Turd…
Using Turd this last week as been a continuum of problems. The latest being today; export or print to create a PDF file results in some text missing on some files. No idea why. Apparently work arounds exist hopefully there’s one for iPad. Its my only device Turd is installed on.
I can’t use Turd through a browser, even though my internet is 345 MB sec Turd online moves like arthritic molasses. Wasting everyones time by the ton. Forget it.
What are developers doing that makes each updated version of Turd even more glitchy than ever?
