This is how they made the "save as PDF" function work in Word 2008.
Word creates on PDF file for each section in the document. I don't know
why they did this. Probably caused by the license agreements beween
Microsoft, Apple, and Adobe. Or they were just being ornery. I don't know.

On the Mac, you can use Preview to collect these PDFs into one PDF. See

I'm fortunate enough to also have Word 2007 for Windows. I do my
writing with Word 2008, then use Word 2007 to create the PDFs for those
more complex documents that have multiple sections.

There is a Utility out from Cups from an outfit called codepoetry. You install it, and shows up as printer choice called CUPS-PDF.

It makes PDF's very fast. And I've tried on a word document and it honor both word section and page breaks. I know I tried. the only thing is you have to open in Acrobat and re-save as the latest format to reduce the size. And it free. I don't know if a split occurs with a shift in layout (portrait to Landscape).
