I've just purchased Acrobat 7. I'm trying to convert word docs into PDF. Everything works fine except the color of the logo that's in the document changes slightly. It's a corporate logo so I need to make sure that the color is right. I'm not sure how to resolve this. I don't think it's a word issue as when I create a PDF from a web page I get the same change in color. I've checked the color settings in Acrobat but these haven't helped. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

You can convert Word documents into PDF documents without Acrobat on OS X.

Panther: Open the document in Word, go File > Print. Click the 'Save as PDF...' button.
Tiger: Open the document in Word, go File > Print. Click the 'PDF' button and select 'Save as PDF' from the popup menu.

Yeh, I know and I've tried that but I also get a bad output through this.

We were running the Adobe demo on the PC and it worked perfectly. Is there some kind of Mac issue I don't know about?

Ok, fixed it. All sorted!

If you choose print from the word menu, then choose Adobe, then go to options, select 'press quality' as the colour setting. This works fine. However, I haven't figured out a way of getting it to work through the normal toolbar 'pprint option' either in Aobe or Word.

Acrobat (full) produces more consistent displays when viewed on PCs and other odd configurations, I've found. Especially if you take the PDF to be printed on a different platform.

Thanks for the tip, Schuey.
