PDFs from Microsoft Project, Publisher, and Access (Windows)

There are specific differences to be aware of when you create PDFs from files authored in these applications:

Microsoft Project

You can create PDFs of only the currently selected view.

Note: Views designated as non-printable in Project cannot be converted to PDF.


Microsoft Publisher

PDFs converted from Microsoft Publisher support crop marks, links, bookmarks, spot colors, transparency, bleed marks, printing bleed marks, and CMYK color conversion.



Microsoft Access
When creating PDFs from Access files, the process can involve two additional steps:
  • You must select the object in the Access file to be created as a PDF before you click the PDFMaker button or command.

  • You can choose Adobe PDF > Convert Multiple Reports To Single Adobe PDF. Then, you can select individual reports that you want to include, and click Add Report(s). When all of the reports that you want to convert appear in the Reports In PDF list, you click Convert to start the creating the PDF.

Note: When you convert an Access 2003 or Access 2002 file to PDF, Access reports, tables, queries, and forms are converted. When you convert an Access 2000 file to PDF, only reports are converted.
