WORD to PDF conversion

[VANCHU, ANTHONY J. (JSC-AH) (TTI)]

As long as you don't need to have any hyperlinks in that document, the
option Michael Trittipo mentions will work just fine.

If you do need to have hyperlinks in the document, however, there's a more
involved trial-and-error process of turning off various Conversion Settings
in the Acrobat pull-down in Word, something I found out by consulting
Adobe's web-based help.  In general, I've found their web help very useful
for things like this.

Let me guess: you're using the PDF option under Word's File menu or the
PDF button on Word's button bar?  The better route -- and it's preserved
diacritics in Czech for me -- is to still use the pre-Acrobat5 route and
print first to a Postscript file, then use Distiller separately to turn
the *.ps file into a *.pdf one.
