    There does not seem to be an answer to this anywhere.  When I use equation editor to create equations and then save the docx document as a PDF, most of the equation text has disappeared.  I have tried all combinations of PDF save as settings to no avail.  This is exceedingly frustrating as I had to switch from Lyx where equations are handled beautifully to Word, where they seem to be handled reasonably until this problem popped up.

    Try using one of the free pdf convertors that you use as a printer such as PrimoPDF

    -- Hope this helps.

    The Microsoft component produces PDF/A, which is why I was going in that direction.  It looks as though PrimoPDF does this too.  Thanks for the suggestion!

    I had a similar problem . I use word 2007 with Windows 7 . After writing a docx file containing some equations and trying to convert the file to pdf or printing the file , some equations disappeared.  I discovered that these equations were written while word writing direction was " right to left " . when I changed these equations to " left to right direction " , every thing becomes ok.
