Christine, is there an option to embed fonts? Does enabling this help? To get working hyperlinks you'll probably need either Adobe Distiller = (you might be able to download a trial version from www.adobe.com ) or a PDF editor. What's the software you're using? - Naomi -----Original Message----- From: austechwriter-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:austechwriter-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of BIRTLEY-KENT,Christine Sent: Monday, 8 March 2004 1:30 PM To: austechwriter@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: atw: PDF file conversion Now, embarrassed though I am to admit this, in nearly 20 years of techwriting et al, I have never had to convert files to PDF before. I now have to convert some Word 97 files to be read in Adobe Acrobat = reader. I have downloaded a freebie PDF conversion software from the web and = tried to convert my word files. They convert and print beautifully but the = fonts I am using display appallingly in Acrobat. I'm thinking it may be = something simple like PostScript fonts. I don't want to become an Adobe expert or pay for the Adobe conversion utility - this work I am doing is free and I'm not going to pay to do = it. Does anyone know a quick fix for this, or a very easy 'idiots guide to = PDF' that can get me up and running quickly?=3D20 I also need to have working hyperlinks.
