Word 2007 "Save as PDF" suddenly making tiny images?

I use (and strongly prefer) Office 2007. I often save Word 2007 documents as PDFs. This has always worked fine.



Today I tried to save as PDF, and the resulting PDF has a tiny image of the Word page in the upper-left corner of the PDF page. I would guess the whole page image is about 1" x 1.25".

Save to PDF works fine in Excel 2007.

What could cause this? I can't think of anything significant that has changed.

Edit: It's not (just) Word. I just tried to do a "Print to PDF" using the Foxit Reader PDF printer, and it did the same thing, though located top-center instead of top-left.

Quicken PDF printer did nothing, and I think that used to work. But! Microsoft Print to PDF worked. !???

I suspect you have changed a printer setting to do more than 1 page per sheet. Do you see any printer settings when you are "printing to PDF"? Look for an option that specifies how many pages per sheet you are getting.

I don't see where this could be configured when you "Save As PDF" in Word but there are many ways to create a PDF from Word and perhaps you are printing to PDF.

You are correct that "Save as PDF" has no such settings, so I don't see how that could explain that particular behavior.

But, even stranger... when I double-checked the Foxit Reader PDF printer (without changing any settings on anything), it printed normally. And then I tested "Save as PDF" and *IT* worked normally too!!
