Bad PDF capture from web page

When I click in the PDF capture icon in IE, Acrobat badly mis-renders the page in my 6.0...

Any thoughts?

I researched quite a bit and figured out what is wrong:

At the top of the pages is a little pull-down box called "search" and within that box, is a text entry field and a "go" button and some other items.

Acrobat mis-places this down the left column of the web page, covering up information, or overlaying (you see both) some others.

If I go into WORD, and I open that web page, it renders as a set of at least well spaced out things with the search pull-down in its own area against the left margin, i.e. it isn't WYSIWYG, but at least all the pieces are there and everything is readable.

Just curious for your thoughts, as I was hoping to make an archive of the symbian forum in which I've asked some questions about program development on my new phone, but PDF really seems to mess up some part of it.

Thanks!

I'm using acrobat 4.X, and so they may have touched up some conversion problems in recent editions, but I had been having some of the same problems. In acrobat 4.x at least, there is HTML that will not convert. Styles will not convert. So if the html layout is defined more or less in a style sheet or in style tags, chances are PDF will not recognize it.
