However they both use the same Adobe PDF default settings specifying A4 paper size.
I should also say that over years of Adobe updates I seem to have two different Adobe products for creating PDFs both the aforementioned Distiller as well as Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended (v. I suspect there is some scaling or default page sizing going on but where/how to change it? In Word 2010 you do this via: File -> Options -> Advanced, and deselect the setting "Scale content for A4 or 8.5 x 11" paper sizes" in the Print section.
I've solved this problem in previous versions by simply deselecting print scaling in Microsoft Word or in Distiller. It's almost as if Distiller is stubbornly scaling the document to a different page size no matter which settings are specified.
When you are done inserting the fields, they should look just like what is shown above.I've searched the internet far and wide in order to understand why, when converting a Word 2010 document to PDF in Windows 7 (via Adobe Distiller ), the top and bottom margins of the resulting PDF file are automatically increased (thereby shrinking the content on the page somewhat) despite having uniformly and everywhere set A4 paper size in Word 2010 and Adobe default PDF settings. To create the field, again press Ctrl+F9 and type the word PAGE within the resulting field braces. In other words, position the insertion point where you want the first page number, press Ctrl+F9, and type the contents.
The following two fields show, respectively, how you would create the page number for the left virtual page and the right virtual page on each printed page:Įach pair of braces in this code is created by inserting a field using Ctrl+F9. To place the page numbers (and have them work properly), you need to use calculations within nested fields. If you are using an older version of Word, then you need to use the columns approach to set up your own virtual pages on each physical page. Word takes care of placing two pages on each physical page printed.
