Bold font is not shown in pdf output from word

When I use a pdf printer, all is fine, but using the build-in save as pdf function, bold comes out as non-bold.

That is very weird.

Thanks for helping!

    Are you sure it isn't just a display issue? What happens if you change the zoom in the PDF?

    If you print the PDF, does the (originally) bold text print in bold?

    I don't have an ink printer, so I can't test. The only thing I know for sure: when I use the ms office pdf print option, it eats my bold formating, when I use bullzip pdf printer, all comes out nicely as it should.

    No clue how this can happen, but I am thankful for any help!

    Could you share an example file with the forum? Upload the file to Dropbox or OneDrive, make it public, and post a link in this thread.

    You will have to supply a file in PDF format, not just a picture. Any file that illustrates the problem works (there doesn't have to be any meaningful content present).
