I have a macro to convert word docs into adobe pdf's(shown below), however when it converts the files it accepts my track changes and then prints the track changes red text as black text. Can anybody help me with modifying my macro so that it will be able to print track changes when it converts to pdf?

Meaning that I would like to have the track changes showing when it is converted to pdf.

Question: If you are able to modify this, will it affect the macro when I have a word doc i want to convert to pdf but it doesn't have any track changes? I just want the macro to show track changes in the pdf where there are track changes but still be able to convert word files that dont have track changes to pdf.

ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED THANKS!

The word conversion to pdf macro:
