Hello Graham:

Please allow me to describe the situation a little clearer. In my
Word document(s) I have a reference field in my header and footer
that points to a bookmark in the main document - the chapter name and
number. In total I have 14 'chapters' created in word, all using the
same style template.

This problem is new, as I successfully converted these documents
using PDF maker just a month ago. Since then I've upgraded to
Acrobat Pro.8 and updated 8.1.2. I am using MS Word 2003.

In Word I have the 'Include in document - field codes' turned off.
The only style elements I have check in PDF Maker conversion settings
are the same as I had checked a month ago - nothing has changed
there. Yet when converting, additional text is placed in front of
the Chapter name and number in both the Header and Footer area of the
generated PDF document; in all attempts (different chapters) the
extra text is "0B" (zero - B).

As a test - when I place the same reference field in the body of my
Word document, and convert it - it works fine (no extra text/code),
but it includes a hyperlink - that takes me to the referenced Chapter
Name and Number.

I'm at a loss to understand why this is happening.

Thank you for your interest in my dilemma.
Bill

uncheck it. If not describe *exactly* the steps you have taken to
insert the field into the document and what is erroneously
reproduced in the PDF so that we may try and reproduce the problem.

UPDATE: I've just discovered something that I need to add to my
original posting:
The additional code is showing up in header and footers only.

When I place a reference field in the body of my document it
converts properly. However, when it does convert properly in the
body, it creates a hyperlink back to the referenced word - which is
not my intention. My intent was to create a bookmarked area that
will propagate its contents throughout the document (in the
header/footer etc...).
I wish I stuck with Professional 7.

I'd appreciate any advice.
Thanks,
Bill

Using MS Word 2003: As I convert documents from MS Word to .pdf
(using PDF PageMaker), I am now experiencing a problem with what
looks like additional text being placed in front of a field which
references a bookmark in my Word document.

The additional text seems to be the code Word uses to reference the
Word bookmark.

This has thrown me for quite a loop because in addition to updating
my Professional 7 to 8 recently, I have also updated 8 with the
recently release
8.1.2. This is the first time I have had this problem!

I'm working on a large project with separate word documents that
have to be converted and then merged, as a single PDF... and this
is slowing me down.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Bill
