Footer from Master page not converting to PDF

toolbar the footer doesn't show up. But when I convert the file using the

[Mary Sauer]

Select the printer (Adobe PDF or Distiller) in page setup and then applying the
footer.

 

[Lauren]

Umm... where do you "apply the footer"? I don't see it in page setup.


Thanks.

 

[Lauren]

I also loose my hyperlinks when using the print to pdf method.

 

[Mary Sauer]

When you do a page setup, you also select your printer, in your case it is the
PDF printer.
This should keep your footers (page numbers) from dropping off. You won't see
the footers on page setup. Footers are on the Master Page (Format, Headers and
Footers). Hyperlinks are created within the PDF document.

 

[Lauren]

Unfortunatly when I convert to a PDF by doing a file/print it does not retain
my hyperlinks. But if I click on the Adobe PDF Convertor Icon on my toolbar
it retains the hyperlinks, but not the footer. I can't win! Any fix to this?

Thanks!

Are you using the beta? I cannot replicate your problem. If you have your
publication setup for a printer has margin limitations, it very well could be
Publisher is using this page setup. This is why I suggested setting up your page
using the PDF printer.

 

[Sue]

I would like the page numbers to show on the pdf. THey are on the master
page. I have changed the printer setting to pdf printer, but that didn't do
it.

 

[Sue]

Sorry I should have said I also followed your instructions to "apply master
page" and I did that on every page, but still no numbers on the pdf.

How close are they to the edge of the page?

It isn't just when I am printing the pdf. The page numbers don't show up on
the screen when I view the pdf file, either.

Are you using Adobe Acrobat? Do you have *Ignore Master Page* checked in the
View menu?

 

[Sue]

I just clicked the pdf icon on my Publisher 2003 program. THe document is a
volunteer club newsletter and we would like to do it just using Publisher and
not have to buy Adobe Acrobat, too. We will be changing to Publisher 2007
next year and hope to use the conversion tool to change it to pdf so we can
email it to our members.

 

[Mary Sauer]

There are other PDF converters, many are free. www.primopdf.com is mentioned
here a lot. Again, page numbers will not print if you have *Ignore Master Page*
checked in the View menu.

 

[Sue]

"ignore master page" on publisher is not checked. Also when adobe acrobat
professional opens the pdf that I created by clicking the pdf icon in
publisher I have the option of Edit>undo headers and footers. Whether it is
checked or unchecked, no page numbers appear.

Thanks so much for your efforts, Mary--By suggesting I use freeware, I
assume you implying I should give up the idea of Publisher putting the page
numbers on the pdf? THe capability to convert to pdf is the main reason we
were going to purchase a new version of Publisher. I guess there is no sense
in that.

 

[Sue]

The Ignore Master Page is not checked in Pub. In Acrobat I have tried Edit>
headers and footers at both the on and off settings and the page numbers
don't show up either way.

Mary, thanks for your help and for the suggestion to try another pdf maker.
It's disappointing, tho, that I am not able to use that feature of MS
Publisher.

 

[Mary Sauer]

Hello Sue,
When you go to Print, if you select the Adobe PDF rather than using the icon on
the menu, does it make a difference? My add-in was disabled long ago from the
menu because it caused problems with Publisher, but the AdobePDF worked
flawlessly. I only know my page numbers always print.

The reason I suggested a different PDF converter, I wasn't familiar with the
term PDFmaker. I did look at my disabled com add in items and discovered Acrobat
was called PDFmaker. Sorry I lead you astray.

 

[Sue]

YES!!! That worked. Fiile> Print> Adobe PDF saves the file with the footers
but oddly, will not print it. I had to use the saved copy and select Print
in the Adobe screen to get a printed copy. Still, very doable. Thanks so
much. I never would have tried Print when what I wanted to do was SAVE it as
pdf.

 

[Mary Sauer]

Hey Sue, I'm glad your workaround worked for you... Thanks for posting back, it
is appreciated.
