All that you slight, and everyone you fight

OS X, pdf’s, and documents with portrait and landscape pages

without comments

If you want something really frustrating, you should trying converting a word document that contains portrait and landscape pages to a pdf on a Mac using Adobe Acrobat. It won’t work. Which is strange for an operating system that has always prided itself on working properly and doing sensible things. For some reason OS X treats each section as a separate document, and you end up with only the last section being converted to pdf. Alas, I haven’t found a way around this yet other than reverting to an older Windows computer at work that has Adobe Acrobat installed on it. Here it works perfectly.
