Error when converting to PDF using Acrobat 7.0

[PublisherProblem]

I have applied a master page to all pages in my Publisher file for a
newsletter. However, when I convert to PDF using Acrobat 7.0 Standard, the
finished product drops the master page (which is a footer with page numbers
at the bottom of each page). The rest of the page is fine. Any idea why this
is happening? Problems seems to be coming from Publisher 2003 itself.

Somebody else had this problem about a week ago. Instead of clicking on the
button on your toolbar, do a File - Print and change your printer driver to
Adobe PDF. For some reason, the master page ends up ignored the other way. I
never use that button so I'd never noticed the problem before the other
poster mentioned it.

Do you have the correct paper size selected in Adobe? When you create page
numbers are you certain they are on the page? Sometimes when you select Acrobat
as the printer, the page numbers will be nudged off the page. Not always, but
I've had it happen. Are you sure you don't have something on the Publication
page covering the page numbers?

Hi. Thanks, the printer driver is already set for Adobe, so this is very
puzzling. I have not had this problem before, and I suspect I must have made
some change without knowing it to the master page, whereby it's applied to
the pages but gets ignored in the conversion to PDF?

Yes, I checked that and paper size is fine. The page numbers appear to be on
the page. I went back and tried to re-convert other Publisher files that used
to convert properly to PDF and the page numbers dropped off of them too.
During the conversion process, you can literally see the page number footers
dropping off the Publisher pages. Is there some setting I need to change to
prevent this? Adobe is my printer setting. Thanks.

Do you use File - Print or the PDF button in your menu?

In page setup, select your printer preference first, then do the page numbers.
Publisher uses the default printer driver when you create a publication.
