Publishing to Adobe Acrobat Professional 7 from Word 2007 Beta 2

[Larry J]

When I try to save a Word file to pdf format, I get the following message:
"The export failed. The document could not be prepared for exporting.
Was this information helpful?"
I have tried saving the document in both the new format and the 97-2003
format but neither works (I get the same message either way). The document
is long, has tables and pictures and headers and footers and so on, but I had
no problems converting the file using Office 2003. Dont know what to do and
would appreciate any advice.

You don't need Acrobat to make a PDF file from Word 2007. Just
"Save As" a PDF file in Word 2007.

When I "save as" a pdf file is when i get the message saying the file can't
be exported. that is the problem.

That's beta software. They expect you to test it, and report any errors
for correction. Go to the Office Beta community.

I had in fact reported this problem to Microsoft (via the frowny face thing).
But of course that doesnt solve the problem.

However, I also found a solution, which was to PRINT the document to Adobe.
this doesnt fix the "Save As" problem, but it did allow me to accomplish what
i wanted. I Got the idea from the Adobe website. This may work for others
having the same problem i had.
I should mention that some pages didnt publish to Adobe quite right
(images), so i deleted those images - not ideal but it's all I could do. --

My copy of Acrobat Pro 7 simply kept wanting to reinstall itself. I finally
gave up and uninstalled my Adobe products completely...there is still alot of
work to be done here by both MS and Adobe.
