Converting macro-enabled Word file to a PDF

[Guest]

I have a macro-enabled Word document, and I use the Create PDF (Add-in) to generate a PDF from the Word file. Will the macros be retained in the PDF that I created? I was told that it will retain all Word properties, including macros.

No, they won't. The VBA macros are incompatible with the PDF scripting

language (which uses JavaScript), and are removed when the file is

converted.

Thank you very much for your quick reply. It saved me from implementing a new process based on erroneous information.

The effect of macros is maintained, if they create visible content, in the same way they appear on a printout. But indeed they do not remain live, this is frozen at the time of creation.
