JMarti54Please modify the title of your post to reflect footer instead of header.
What I am seeing is:
You have only one section and one footer displayed: the main footer.
However, you do have other content in the footers. Each section of a Word document has three footers even though they may not display or have content.
This is not set to display but may be what is showing up when you convert to pdf.
The even-page footer is blank.
I have no idea why this would show up in a pdf conversion/save. It may depend on your how you are doing it.
You can remove this by clicking on Different First Page in the Header/Footer tab and then going to the footer, selecting all, and deleting. Then uncheck Different First Page.
If that does not help, copy the content from your main footer into the First-Page footer.
See: Header/Footer Settings Recap for more.
