I created a document in word and set up the page in landscape. It show find on the screen however after I convert it into pdf, the page does not fully display. (side to side)

What can I do?
 
Thank you for your reply however I don't seem to be able to solve the problem.
Can you create a word page with approx.20 columns in landscape format and then convert it to see if you can get it to display fully?

Let me know if you are able to figure this one out because I can't.
 
When I changed the file open options to Fit in Window, it displayed fully for me.

Using Acrobat 5, I changed that option as follows:

1. Open the landscape PDF file.

2. Open the File menu, point to Document Properties, and click Open Options.

3. In the Document Open Options dialog box that appears, select Fit in Window in the Magnification list.

4. Click OK.

5. Save the PDF file and close it.

6. Re-open the PDF file.

When I followed the above steps, the entire page appeared for me.

When you created the PDF from Word, did you also change the settings of the defult page size? (under Settings>Job Options>Default Page Size in Distiller).

Go back and reverse the order in which the measurements are written - there is no button to specify portrait or landscape, although height and width are clearly labelled.
 
Thank you all for your replies. I was using my companies e-mail "converter" to convert into pdf. When I use the actual pdf writer all works fine.
Thank you again!
 
In Acrobat 6:

If you want the rotated page to be saved with the document, use the Document > Pages > Rotate command.
