How to Fix Microsoft Publisher PDF Export Cutting Off Newsletter Pages
Question details
The user is trying to export a 13-page newsletter to a PDF in Microsoft Publisher, but it exports as a single continuous page with cut-off content. They also cannot find the "Range" option.
- Product
- Microsoft Publisher
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- Exporting a multi-page newsletter document to PDF format.
- Observed behavior
- The PDF exports as one continuous page instead of individual pages, causing portions of the newsletter to be cut off. Additionally, the "Range" export option is unavailable.
Before exporting, verify your intended publication page size (e.g., Letter or A4) and ensure your Publisher software is updated to the latest version to prevent missing menu options.
Disable Single Page and Adjust Page Size Settings
Changing the export settings to separate pages and matching the page size resolves the continuous page and cut-off issue.
Go to the 'File' menu and select 'Export', then click on 'Create PDF/XPS Document'.
Click the 'Options' button in the publish dialog box before saving the file.
In the options menu, ensure that the 'Single Page' or 'Continuous' setting is disabled so the document splits into separate pages.
Change the publication and PDF page size to 'Letter' (or your intended newsletter size) and click 'OK' to apply the changes and export your PDF.
Troubleshooting the Missing Range Option
If you cannot select a specific page range during export, it is likely due to the version of Publisher or the specific workflow being used. You can bypass this using the Print menu.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my Microsoft Publisher PDF save as one continuous page?
This happens if the export option is set to 'Single Page' or if the page size doesn't match the publication size. Disabling the Single Page option in the PDF Export options and setting the size to 'Letter' usually fixes this.
Why is the page range option missing when exporting a PDF in Publisher?
The availability of the page range option depends on your specific version of Microsoft Publisher and the export workflow. You can bypass this limitation by using the 'Print to PDF' feature instead of the Export menu.
How do I stop Publisher from cutting off my text when saving as PDF?
Text gets cut off when the PDF page size is smaller than the publication's design size. In the PDF export options, ensure the page size is set correctly (like Letter or A4) to match your original design.
Can I use WPS Office to create multi-page newsletters?
Yes, WPS Writer includes robust page layout features and free templates, allowing you to design and easily export multi-page newsletters to PDF without formatting issues.
