Word document changes after saving as pdf

5

When I save my Word document as PDF, the word document changes.

The changes which happen are:

insertion of an extra table, and change in margin on that same page.

  • The pdf looks like the word document as it looks after I have saved it as a pdf.
  • The word-document is in .docx-format but the same thing happens if I first save it as .doc format, and then try to save as pdf.
  • This only happens with this particular word document.

This is what the document looks like before I save as pdf:

before

This is what the document looks like after I've saved as a pdf:

after

The difference is that a table is inserted in the word-document, after it has been saved as PDF.

Any ideas?

I'm interested in unexplained fact, if you can still remember it: what is the origin of the extra table? I mean, the table was originally created by someone. At the time when you started PDF conversion, was it on the clipboard? Or was it already hidden in the document? – miroxlav – 2017-01-06T10:36:01.453

@miroxlav no sorry can't remember exactly. I don't think the table was in the clipboard, but I think it did exist in the document on one of the last pages. – Rasmus Larsen – 2017-01-07T21:50:56.913

did you show all hidden texts? May be the table was there. It's just hidden – phuclv – 2019-05-05T03:46:18.067

Can you share the document somewhere for testing? – Adam – 2014-04-08T02:31:28.747

convert it using some word to pdf converter. The built in converter of Microsoft Word is not working properly for some documents (I experienced some issues). You can use free converter doPDF downloadable from http://www.dopdf.com. After installing this will adds a printer to your printers list. So you simply print your document and your pdf is ready.
