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. Views designated as nonprintable in
Project cannot be converted to PDF.
Note: Converting Project files requires Acrobat Professional or Acrobat 3D.
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 using the PDFMaker button or
command.
• You can choose Adobe PDF > Convert Multiple Reports To Single Adobe PDF. For Access 2007, click Acrobat and
then click Convert Multiple Report. 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, click Convert to start
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.
Convert Visio files to PDF (Windows)
PDFs created from Visio files preserve page sizes and support layers, searchable text, custom properties, links,
bookmarks, and comments, depending on your settings in the conversion settings. (Choose Adobe PDF > Change
Conversion Settings to review these, if needed.)
When you convert your Visio file, only shapes and guides that are printable and visible in the Visio drawing are
converted and appear in the PDF. Shapes are converted regardless of their protection or behavior. Shape custom
properties can be converted to PDF object data.
When you convert the Visio file to a PDF, you can preserve all or just some layers, or you can flatten all layers. If you
flatten layers, the PDF will look like the original drawing, but won’t contain any layer information. When flattened,
the contents of only visible and printable layers will appear in the converted PDF.
