This is a really bizarre thing.... The footnote spacing in final PDF file is different from the spacing defined in the Word. Why???
I have search a lot but didn't find anything useful. Microsoft Word version is 2013 and I print the the document to PDF using Foxit printer and the PDF compatibility is set to 1.5. The problem is not related to A4 and Letter page sizes (a very common mistake when converting a word document to PDF).
The second strange thing is that the footnote numbers in the Word are in English, but the numbers in PDF are in non-English (Unicode). Since the text is non-english, the number above each word (in the main text) are in unicode also
Any idea is appreciated
