Vexing PDF creation problem

[Rosalyn Allison-Jacobs]

When I attempt to convert a Word document in which I have created section breaks into a PDF, it creates a separate document at every section break instead of one complete document. How do I fix this??

What exact Mac model do you have?

And what Mac OS are you using?

And, is it Word 2008, Word 2011, or Word 2016?

There are reports of PDF issues with Sierra, OS 10.12.x:

I saw this problem years ago on my Macs. My solution was to install Parallels Desktop and run all PDF operations there (for example, using Windows Office and the PDF-Xchange add-in). As mentioned, the PDF webkit in Sierra is a mess, and should be avoided for now.

The other method would be to install Adobe Acrobat Pro.
