Saving Word to PDFs - 'A footer of section is outside the printable area'

The Black Oil · 2015-04-23 12:33:04

Hey, I'm currently working on a Word doc (Word 2011) that I want to put it into a PDF. At the moment, when saving, I get 'a footer of section is outside the printable area', which I've been unable to resolve. The numbers look partly chopped off. I had this before when I was in college, I think. Any ideas?

Have you set A4 as the default page size in Word ?

Looks like it happens when there is no printer installed, some suggestions here http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoffice2011-macword/mac-word-to-pdf-template-error-a-footer-of-section/42a82856-3f17-41d3-ba4e-e56fa30988b1

When you actually print it, it prints fully.

Of course, the page numbers work fine in a Windows Office environment...
