Article # 3017215 - Page views: 272
Problem
When printing Microsoft Word documents containing graphic representations of chemical elements / reactions, the output file does not contain the chemical reaction or it is poorly printed where the formatting is not retained.
Cause
The issue occurs when printing the document through the Nuance PDF toolbar or the "File > Print" menu.
Resolution
It is recommended to either convert the file using the "File > Save As Nuance PDF" or "File > Export > Create Nuance PDF" path. Note: the "File > Save As Nuance PDF" feature is new to the version 3 of the product.
