Hi everyone,

I have a Word document with about 7 or 8 section breaks scattered throughout.
When I print to a pdf file, it creates 7 or 8 pdfs based on each of the
sections. I just want one pdf document to be created from the Word file but
can't figure out how to do it.

Word throws a new print job on every section break that changes page
margins or orientation, plus a few phase-of-moon dependencies that
might trigger a new job too.

That bites when printing to PDF, or trying to do a manual double-sided
print.

Either painstakingly check every section break for such changes (often
so subtle that 'phase-of-moon' is worryingly apt) or give up and stitch
the PDFs back together with one of the utilities that have sprung up to
work around such innovative features.

PDFLab is one I have used. I think a modern version of Preview might do
the job too. Try versiontracker.com for the current crop.

Stitching is the only way to sneak a landscape page into a Word PDF
without resorting to rotated raster images.

PS If you want to manually print double sided, PDF, stitch, print the
stitched one, evens (possibly reversed), then odds.

Productivity application? Pah!
