Does anybody know a macro or any other method for making it automatically?

Thanks a lot. ▲ Collapse

To do this you will need to have Acrobat Writer or some other means of generating PDF files. If not, it's definitely worth getting hold of it, as it saves you so much time in the long run.

Hope this helps

Be careful! Oct 8, 2003

Your suggestion only works with text that has been entered directly into PP. It will not work on text boxes, imported text or tables, or grouped text.

Ricardo
