Acrobat 9.1.1 pro, Excel 2007, pagination problems

I have just upgraded from CS3 to CS4 Design Standard. I have been accustomed to producing PDFs from Excel 07 with Acrobat 8 pro, normally selecting a number of sheets from the same Excel workbook to creat a single PDF. I normally use the "page # of ##" option in Excel for my footer, which would come through just fine in Acrobat 8. In Acrobat 9, each page is instead reflected as "Page 1 of 1" in the PDF file, and I cannot get Acrobat to properly reflect the true number of pages.
As a late upgrader, I know there are likely others who have run into this problem, and I would greatly appreciate learning what the solution might be. Thanks for your assistance.

The toolbar item (PDF Maker) is often used by folks due to convenience or simply not trying the other option. You might want to try both and note the size difference. There are a lot of features that can be turned off in PDF Maker that will reduce the size. The major reason to use the PDF Maker is typically for the bookmarks and links that it will retain for the PDF (these are lost with the printer by itself).
I have found some differences between PDF Maker and the Adobe PDF printer results for OFFICE 2007. That may be the issue you are running into. If found it was a result of OFFICE 2007 and not Acrobat, at least that was the conclusion I reached. I was looking at some graphics issues in PPT files.
Since the printer worked for you, you might want to check the preferences in PDF Maker to see if one of them is causing your problem. That is about all I can suggest.

Acrobat Pro 8.2.5 + Excel 2007 Intermittent Problem

Acrobat Pro 8.2.5 (fully updated) + MS Excel 2007 (fully updated) + WinXP Pro (fully updated)
Excel document has several worksheets, one of which I convert to PDF weekly to put on an internal web link
I use the Excel toolbar icon Acrobat added to Excel, clicking Acrobat-Create PDF, to start the process
I always accept the default location, since I delete the local file after uploading to the server... therefore I never have to tell Acrobat it is OK to replace the file
About 1/2 the time, when I select the individual worksheet and tell Acrobat to convert to PDF, it asks me for a file name and then actually creates that file
The rest of the time, it asks me for the file name and goes through the process, but does NOT create the file... so I have to start over and let Acrobat do the work again... I have never had the process fail twice in a row
This is a company computer so I may not replace Acrobat Pro 8x
Is there anything else I may do?

A week or so after Microsoft's latest "Patch Tuesday" I went to create my usual PDF
Clicked on the toolbar option and got to the point of entering the file name, when Excel locked
Nothing I did could get Excel to work, so had to close it with Task Manager
When I went back to Excel to create the PDF, the option was gone from the toolbar
I was tired of messing around with this, so now I just use the File--Print--Adobe PDF process
This works every time, and is actually faster than before with the toolbar option
As long as I can create my weekly PDF I don't really care HOW it's done, just that it works

Acrobat 9.1.1 Pro - Excel problems

Dear Sirs,
I am using Acrobat 9.1.1 Pro to convert excel 2007 files (xlsx) to pdf. The problem is that images are wrong placed in the pdf file.
I am not an expert and i'm asking for your help to solve this problem. Initially I used Acrobat 9.0 Pro and everything was OK, but along with the update to 9.1.1 this problem occured,
Please help since I use this feature alot.
Thank you.

Hi,
It seems that the problem is of the content layout on the page! Try out the following:
1. Open up the problematic file in Excel and go to 'Office Button -> Print-> Print ' dialog and select 'Adobe PDF' printer in that dialog. Click 'Close'.
2. Now go to 'Office Button -> Print-> Print Preivew' and check the layout and content.
If you see issues here, then you need to re-layout the page contents to get the desired output.
Thanks.

Excel 2007 query problems

Has anyone else noticed problems with Excel 2007 when doing webqueries? We have someone who wrote a bunch of VBA in an excel document (excel 2003) that does 7 web queries, and then creates pivot tables on the results.
Because of the row limitations in older excel version (1million+ rows in Excel 2007), we upgraded. However, now the Excel queries take forever. In TOAD, the queries run in 5 seconds, but take hours upon hours in Excel 2007. The PC where Excel runs is adequately powered (CPU, RAM, etc) to handle the load.
I'm assuming some type of ODBC problem? Maybe an incompatibility with Oracle 9iR1 drivers?
We're running 9.2.0.1 here for now.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!
-Mike

turns out the Excel 2007 VBA engine is extremely slow. THe query returns very quickly, but Excel 2007 is taking much much longer to use the result set.

OLAP 10g with Excel 2007 crashing problems

We currently have a 10g database and 10g OLAP toolset. We have a user population split between Windows XP on Excel 2003 and Windows 7 on Excel 2007. We are distributing the Excel Add-In 10.1.2.3.0.2 version, but the Windows 7/Excel 2007 users are having a lot of problems with Excel crashing unless it is the only application that is open (which is understanably frustrating to that user base). They have to go into task manager and kill the excel process (not just the application) or face doing a full reboot. Are there any settings we can change to improve performance on Excel 2007? We hope to do an 11g upgrade later this year, but it won't happen until 2nd half at the earliest due to other contstraints.

First verify if the patch was successfully installed by checking the Xcelsius application version from the Help Menu. It should be 4.2.5.5 or higher.
In addition, that might be behavior due to an Excel add-in affecting the automation between Xcelsius and Excel. You may need to remove any Excel add-ins that you have installed.

Excel 2007 formatting problems with new Adobe Reader 9.1

I am using Excel 2007 and have always been able to seamlessly save as PDFs until I updated to Adobe Reader 9.1. Now the formatting is completely messed up. I've tried several "fixes" listed on forums, including checking the printer parameters and nothing has worked. Please help!

Excel 2007 VBA, problem setting Sheet Visibility in BeforeSave event after Office updates during mid Dec 2014

After update of Office 2007 during mid December 2014, I have a Macro that does not work properly - which it did before the update.
The Macro is used to make sure that users have Macros enabled when working on the file. The logic basically does the following:
=> In the "OnOpen" event, set all "work sheets" as Visible, and set the "Macro Warning sheet" to non-visible.
=> In the "BeforeSave" event, set the "Macro Warning sheet" as Visible and set all "work sheets" as non-visible.
After the mid December update of Office 2007, the "OnOpen" part still works fine. The "BeforeSave" part does NOT work properly if the save action is triggered by using the shortcut key "CTRS+s". However, if saving the file
using the "Save" option in the menues, the "BeforeSave" action works fine.
Does Microsoft have a fix for this problem? I am not entierly sure exactly which update/KB that caused this.
To recreate the problem, put the following code into the "thisWorkbook" module, and make sure that one sheet has the codeName "wshForceMacros". Open the file, enable Macros, then save the file using the keys "CTRL+s". The macro
now hangs on the row "wshForceMacros.Cells(2, 1).Select" since the wshForceMacros sheet has not become properly visible...
Option Explicit
'ON OPEN
Sub Workbook_Open()
Call ShowSheetsAfterOpen
End Sub
'ON SAVE
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
Call HideSheetsBeforeSave
End Sub
'ON SAVE
Sub HideSheetsBeforeSave()
Dim oSheet As Worksheet
'Show Macro Lock sheet
wshForceMacros.Visible = xlSheetVisible
wshForceMacros.Activate
wshForceMacros.Cells(2, 1).Select
'Hide all work sheets
For Each oSheet In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
If oSheet.CodeName <> "wshForceMacros" Then
If oSheet.Visible = xlSheetVisible Then
oSheet.Visible = xlSheetVeryHidden
End If
End If
Next oSheet
End Sub
Sub ShowSheetsAfterOpen()
Dim oSheet As Worksheet
Dim bSaved As Boolean
'Show all work sheets
For Each oSheet In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
If oSheet.Visible = xlSheetVeryHidden Then
oSheet.Visible = xlSheetVisible
End If
Next oSheet
'Hide Macro Warning Sheet
wshForceMacros.Visible = xlSheetHidden
End Sub

Adobe Acrobat 8.1.2 Pro Print to PDF problem

We are trying to us the print to PDF method of PDF creation. In the past you were able to select the PDF job options from under the apple print menu and in the PDF options section. When used under Illustrator or Indesign this would also allow you to choose a save location and name for the pdf file.
We've been using CS1 and are moving to CS3. After a clean install on a test system that Submenu is now gone. Anyone have any ideas? I can have the users manual set the options in Acrobat Distiller first but this seems to make the PDF printer rather useless.

Some additional info
This is on a PPC Mac with OS X 10.4.11 with latest patches. Previously install was Adobe CS1. Removed the Adobe PDF printer, PPD Plugin and PPD file prior to instal. Also removed the Version Cue 1 preference pane and preferences via Adobes Manaul removal script.

Excel 2007 Window Minimizes while typing

Hi,
We have a user with a slightly different type of issue. The user has 2 monitors, and when Excel is in the second screen, the active window will sometimes, suddenly, become minimized. We have been able to reproduce this event, and confirmed that
no keyboard shortcut is being pressed to cause this. Also, not all windows on the 2nd display minimize - just the active Excel window.
Finally, when this happens, the window seems to just disappear, not a "fade to the taskbar" like a normal "minimize" function. The document is closed, so there is no data loss, but the work-flow is interrupted and is very frustrating
for this VIP user.
We are running Office 2007 with Outlook 2010, and all the latest updates and service packs.
Any help you can suggest would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Jeff

Excel 2007 to Acrobat 9 Pro cell fill / font issue

When attempting to convert a workbook from Excel 2007 to a pdf using Acrobat 9 Pro, the cell font color prints slightly lighter than the cell fill color, even when the colors are the same - amber, green or red. Never had an issue previously until now. Not visible within the file, only when printing. Any insight or suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Thanks for your reply Bill@VT. I am converting using the Acrobat addin in Excel. I read your e-mail and played with some of the Excel sheets. The problem seems to arise when I am converting a landscape page that has been reduced to fit on one page whether by percentage or by fit to x pages by x pages. I have tried various settings and in print preview they all look just fine but once I click the convert but the page size grows. I am wondering if this is not an Acrobat problem but rather an Excel problem.

Converting Excel 2007 to Acrobat 9.0 Pro - page size changes

I am having a problem with the page size when converting from Excel 2007 to a pdf. When I have a landscape page sized to 11 x 8.5 and I convert it to a pdf using the conversion tab it changes the page size to 14.33 x 10.12. I have tried printing to a pdf but that really screws up any graphics attached to the Excel file.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Q regarding Acrobat 9 Standard and Excel 2007

Using 9 Standard and Excel 2007, what settings do I need to change to create a pdf document that looks like my Excel print preview? Some of the graphs within our excel documents are large, say 3 graphs 5 inches wide each, which are then forced to fit the print area using excel's Fit-to page settings. When we attempt to convert these to pdf using 9 Standard, the graphs end up 5 inches wide each, and do not fit on the pdf page. These pages pdf perfecly using Pro 8 but not using 9 Standard. Unfortunately, I can not change the Excel documents, because we have multiple users, some with 9 Standard and others with 8 Pro, all using the same Excel documents.
Thanks in advance for any and all replies.

Thank you for your reply, however the suggestion did not work. My original problem still exists: headers and footers are resized on each page, some so small they are unreadable. Also (much worse), I did a 'save-as' on a file created in XL 07, saving as XL 97-03. This caused a 'significant loss of functionality' within my file, affecting 286 different cells. I often use XL07's =IFERROR formulas which are not recognized in 97-03.
So... I still have only a partial solution. Adjusting the dpi settings allows me to successfully convert XL 07 files to pdf, but Acrobat 9 Standard is currently useless, because I can not add proper headers and footers.
Anyone else with suggestions? All replies appreciated.
Thanks

Can't send Excel 2007 File via Send To Email Option after Acrobat Install

Normally, you can send an Excel 2007 file via email to someone by going to the Send option on the Excel file menu and choosing "Email." This will email an actual copy of the Excel 2007 file. However, since installing Adobe Acrobat 9 pro on my computer, this option, as well as the option to send to XPS are gone -- the only email option I have on that menu is to convert the file to a PDF and email it.
It seems to me that Acrobat should ADD options to menus but not remove any! Does anyone know how I can get those missing options (especially the one to email the actual file itself) back? I've tried Googling up a solution, but to no avail so far.
Thanks, in advance, for any help!
Laura

Thanks for taking the time to respond, Aditya!
I saw that MS support article when I was trying to solve this issue on my own, but the solutions it proposes won't work for me -- I can't set Outlook as my email client (this is a work computer and we use Lotus Notes) and I can't muck around in the registry (again, this is a work computer). I know I can attach the Excel via the attach command in the email client, but the main thing is I don't understand why Acrobat has removed that option from the Excel menu. Also, it removed the Send to XPS option (which I don't really care about, but it bothers me because it shouldn't be deleting anything)!
I even tried adding the Email command to the Quick Access Toolbar in Excel -- it let me add the button, but, when I click it, absolutely nothing happens.

How to correct bad PDF display of Excel 2007 graph-Adobe Pro X?

Just installed Adobe Acrobat Pro X; previously had Adobe Pro 8, which worked fine. Have Excel 2007 files with an Excel graph and a JPG image on the spreadsheet tab. Both the graph and the JPG are too big, are displaced, and hide spreadsheet data, when the Excel file is Saved As a PDF using Adobe Pro dialog or Excel dialog, or the Excel Plug-In to Create PDF. For some strange reason, printing to PDF works, although that is limiting. All of the settings are the same for the Adobe Printer as Adobe Pro settings. Changing them or going to default did not help. Just did the latest update; that did not help.
The graph and JPG are too large for the PDF page. Paper printing from Excel still works fine. Producing a PDF on another machine with Pro 8 still works fine. Could not find this problem discussed anywhere. Using XP, fully patched. This should not be a complicated process, nor a complex spreadsheet. What is going on?
Thanks

Regardless of the method and Adobe product used to create the PDF, including the Excel tool button, the single common factor whether the PDF correctly displays a JPG or graph in the Excel file that is being done at anything other than 100% size is whether the Adobe Printer or a Physical Printer is selected as the default printer in the Windows Printers and Faxes-Settings. This is true even though the printer is not being used. I have created the same PDF using every method/product and the results are always the same, and only properly display when either the setting is 100% size or the system printer is selected as Adobe Printer. This is true only after installing Adobe X (8 was previously installed, and worked as expected).

You say the settings for the printer work fine, but do not for PDF Maker (I am assuming this is what you meant). PDF Maker no longer uses the printer and the settings are independent. Check the settings for PDF Maker under the create PDF menu.

How to print an excel file (2010 version) with multiple tabs into a pdf file with bookmarks (acrobat 9). I was able to do this easily using excel (2007 version).

Recently I got a new laptop, with excel 2010 version and acrobat 9 standard.
I could no longer print (save as) an excel file with multiple tabs into a pdf file with bookmarks.
My old computer has excel 2007 version and acrobat 9 standard.
Print an excel file into pdf with bookmarks was a piece of cake.
Both machine has the same add-in -- Acrobat PDFMaker Office COM addin
Thanks if anyone could help me with this.
Tom

You need to upgrade Acrobat to a newer version.
