Hi Carol:

Yes, you're on to it :-)

We need to 'make room' for the footer we actually intend to print. Word's
default 'From Edge' setting is 1.25 cm (half an inch) which assumes a
single-line footer.

When we want a dual-line footer, or a graphic or other large object (e.g. A
table...) in the footer, we need to set it further from the edge.

Most printers have an 'unprintable zone'. For many printers, this is 1 cm
(0.4 inches) from the edge of the paper. Modern printers will go a lot
closer, but modern printer manufacturers are often too lazy to update their
printer drivers to say so!

When Word prints, it requests the printer driver information from OS X. If
it can't get it, or can't read it, or the non-printing area setting has not
been provided by the manufacturer of the printer, Word will assume 1 cm.

The setting 'from edge' refers to the 'inside' extremity of the header or
footer (the bottom of the header, or the top of the footer).

To set this accurately, we need to work out how high the footer or header
really is. Assume the Footer style is set to its default settings, it
inherits from Normal style. So it might be 12 points on a 14 point leading
(i.e. with a 'Single' line spacing). Single line spacing sets a leading of
120 per cent of the font height.

So the height of each line is 14 points. There's no space above or below,
so no space between. A two-line footer is thus 28 points high. The printer
non-printing area is 1 cm (28 points). So the closest we can get that to
the edge of the paper is 56 points (2 cm, 0.77 inches).

So set 'From Edge' to be 2 cm.

For a visually pleasing result, we should set the document Margin to twice
that, so the footer ends up 'in the middle'. So set the margin to be 4 cm
(1.6 inches).

You can be lazy if you like and leave the document margin at its default
setting (2.5 cm, 1 inch). Word will automatically move the document margins
inwards to make room for the header or footer if it needs to.

There you go: now you know what graphics designers do for a living :-)

Cheers

I was having the same issue and I stumbled upon a post elsewhere:
https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/msoffice_word-mso_mac/header-and-footers-disappear-when-i-save-as-a-pdf/139ae6c1-81e0-47af-a8a7-9f18090d478a?auth=1
A known issue with printing PDFs is that the default printed page usually has .5' margins. If your header and footer is close to the page edge, it may be clipped by these margins. I always create a custom borderless page size in OS X's File>Print dialog to get around this issue.
In Word, choose File>Page Setup.
Change the Paper Size dropdown to Manage Custom Sizes.
Click on the + sign to create a new page format.
Give it a name like Borderless Letter.
Change all margins to 0. OK out.
In the Finder, open System Preferences.
Choose Printers and Scanners.
Change Default paper size to Borderless Letter.
Now, by default, you'll print to a borderless page and your header and footer will be included.
I followed the above and I now don't have any issues with the header/footer not appearing when printing or saving as PDF.
Hope this helps.
