I have Word 2007 and created a document using 11.5 pt Adobe Caslon Pro with 13 pt line spacing.

When I print the document in Word, it prints fine. However, when I save it as a PDF and print it, the bottoms of the descenders of letters such as g, y, p, etc. are all chopped off.



I've tried embedding the font when I do the save in Word but it makes no difference.

I only have Adobe Reader, not Acrobat. I've asked this question on an Adobe forum and was told it's a Word issue because Word is creating the PDF.

Why is this happening? Is there anything I can do?

I'd be very grateful for any advice!
