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

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.

  • 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!

    Not so much Excel (or, at least not so much that I remember) but I've read a
    LOT of messages about problems with Word'07
    You might want to check and make sure you have all MS Office updates installed, to fix any known bugs... plus make sure your version of Acrobat is fully up to date

  • 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

  • Converting excel link in mac acrobat x pro

    I know you can maintain URL lionks when converting Excel to PDF on Windows with Acrobat X Pro. Can you do the same with the Mac version?

    What are you talking about?
    If you use the Save As... > PDF  within Office2011 and 2008  you use the Apple PDF engine.
    IF however you go to Print menu > PDF > Adobe PDF you make a genuine Adobe PDF using Adobe's PDF engine. It ieven uses the Acrobat Distiller Job options.
    No wonder Macusers have go it alone. When the adobe employess don't know what's going on.
    Click on the PDF button in the print menu.
    Then hold button until menu pops up. Choose Adobe PDF or Adobe quality PDF (depending upon the version of OSX used).
    menu choice will show High Quality , click on that button and choose desired job option. choose whether you want the PDF to open Reader as soon as its created or not.
    Click okay (or save)
    Now you will be given opportunity change name or give desired name, choose desired location to save.
    Then hit Save.
    Your Adobe quality PDF will be created.

  • 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.

  • Convert from Word 2007 to Acrobat Pro 9; bookmark issue

    When converting from Word 2007 to PDF using Acrobat Pro 9, enabling "Convert Word Headings to Bookmarks", not only are Headings converted to bookmarks, but bulleted text (styles), as well.  I attached the subsequent PDF, but this forum does not permit the document attachment.  I really only want to show the Headings.  (It may be noteworthy to mention that when using this same set of styles in Word 2003 and Acrobat Pro7 the conversion was seamless.)
    Does anyone know how to correct this?  I have reviewed my Word styles and the issue does not appear to be on the document level.  Am I missing some obscure setting?
    I'd appreciate any help.
    Thanks.
    -PS

    I had a similar situation occur when converting Word 2007 docs to Acrobat Pro 9 Extended via the PDFMaker (Acrobat add-on tab in Word 2007), and I want to share a workaround. In summary, I had extraneous bookmarks appear in the PDF (heading 3s, body text, XE Index tags, etc.)  that I did not select to be in the PDF.  I contacted Adobe's support and ended up talking for approx. 2.5 hrs to 2 different reps with no solution. They reproduced the issue on their end, but couldn't figure out how to fix this. I recently upgraded to Tech Comm Suite 2.5 from 1.0. The Word 2007 conversion to PDF via Acrobat Pro 8.x worked fine.
    Scenario: I have 400-page user guides that I am required to publish as 'Press Quality' with navigable bookmarks to certain headings in the PDF. I have to generate the PDF via the Acrobat Add-On tab in Word, since I do not want to manually insert bookmarks in the PDF for 400 page documents (as you would when using the Adobe Print driver or 'Save As PDF' operation).
    In the Adobe PDF Maker dialog, I have the following Application Settings selected in the General tab:
    Create Bookmarks
    Add Links
    In the Bookmarks tab,  I originally had only two Elements selected for bookmarks:
    Heading 1 (a Word Heading already present) as the Level 1 Bookmark.
    Table of Contents Bookmark (a Word Style I created) as the Level 2 Bookmark.
    As a result, the Convert Word Headings to Bookmarks and Convert Styles to Bookmarks were both enabled in the Bookmarks tab.
    The resulting PDF contained extraneous bookmarks that I did NOT select, such as Heading 2s, 3s, even body text - too much to clean up for 400-page documents! Additionally, and this was annoying too - I noticed that all bookmarks appeared as Level 1 Bookmarks, making the PDF Bookmarks really messy. I converted multiple Word 2007 documents with the same results.
    How I resolved the issue:
    In the Word 2007 document, open the Styles window, select all instances of the specific Word Heading (in my case, Heading 1). All instances of the selected Word Heading will be selected in the doc.
    Click the New Style icon in the lower left part of the Styles window.
    In the Create New Style from Formatting dialog, create a new style name (e.g., I created H1).
    Just to be sure to NOT create the new style from an existing Word Heading, I selected (no style) in the Style Based On field.
    Configure the remaining formatting items as necessary, and then click OK. All of the selected instances from the old Word Heading style are now changed to the new style created (in my case, H1).
    Click the Preferences tab in the Acrobat add-on tab in Word 2007, and open the Bookmarks tab.
    Remove the old Word Heading (in my case, it was Heading 1) so it no longer will be included as a Bookmark in the PDF.
    Select the new Word Style that you created (in my case, H1) to be generated as the Level 2 bookmark. Note: My original Level 1 bookmark, "TOC Bookmark," is still selected. Now, only the Convert Word Styles to Bookmarks is enabled in the Bookmarks tab.
    Generate the PDF once again via the PDFMaker, and no extraneous bookmarks appear in the PDF.
    Note: I also noticed that when Index tags (XE tags) were present in an element selected to be a bookmark in the PDF (such as my new style, H1), they also appeared in the PDF Bookmarks pane. I just moved the XE tags down to the body text so they would no longer appear in the PDF.
    Question for discussion: Maybe there is a bug in the PDFMaker when both Convert Word Headings to Bookmarks and Convert Styles to Bookmarks are selected? The extraneous bookmarks do not appear in my PDF when only Convert Word Styles is selected.

  • 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.
    jim

    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

  • Converting excel /word 2007 documents to pdf issue

    Hello,
    I am currently using Windows XP Pro SP3 and Office 2007, Adobe 8 Standard version 8.2.2 and Adobe Distiller8.2.2.217.  Sometimes when I try to convert Word or Excel 2007 documents to adobe PDF, it creates just a blank pdf file.  After a reboot, I was able to convert documents to pdf and again creates blank file.  From Word, if I click 'Acrobat' menu and click 'Create PDF' and in the  'Save As' dialog box when "Quick and Simple" is selected instead of 'Fully functional", pdf documents are created (not blank ones).  Unfortunately,  "Quick and Simple" option is not even available in Excel....So, at least twice a day I need to restart PC to convert documents....
    Any suggestions / comments greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    No, you'll have to re-create them using JavaScript.

  • 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.

  • Acrobat 8 and Excel 2007 - drops elements

    using acrobat in excel 2007 and converting spreadsheets to pdf's
    no matter what settings i change or how i alter the charts, some chart
    elements dont show on the pdf, text is fine it just seems to be chart shapes

    If you are having problems creating a PDF, there are two steps you should do FIRST
    Go to the appropriate vendor web site and apply all updates to the program you are using (several recent messages have concerned problems with MS Office conversion, with the response that different versions of Office have different BUGS that must be fixed by a download from Microsoft - and MS Office products are not the only ones which may, from time to time, need to be updated to work properly)
    Go to the Acrobat update page and apply the updates for your version of Acrobat
    IN NUMBER ORDER (updates are not cumulative so, using version 8 as an example, you must apply 8.1.0 before the 8.1.1 update)

  • Excel 2007 Converted to PDF cuts off information

    I am using Acrobat 8.1 and I am having trouble converting the information from Excel 2007. Some of the text in the cells are cut off on the ends. Is there some kind of tweak to stop this? Thanks

    Select the Adobe PDF printer in the print menu. Then go through the Excel file. Excel (like WORD) reflows the document to best fit the printer. In this case you are apparently outside the printing range of the Adobe PDF printer. You may have to reduce the font size.

  • Autocad 2010 drawing pasted in microsoft excel 2007 spread sheet not visible after converting excel

    Hello, I am having an issue with Autocad 2010 drawings not showing up in a pdf document. Normally, I cut and paste part of an Autocad 2010 drawing into a Microsoft Excel 2007 spread sheet. Then, using Adobe Distiller, I convert the Excel spread sheet into a pdf document for propriatary purposes. However, recently the drawing pasted into Excel will not fully appear on the pdf, the drawing is cut off past a certain point. The drawing will print normally in Excel, but in pdf will not print normally. If the drawing is shrunk below the "cut off" point, it appears normally. If the drawing is expanded above the "cut off" point, any additional image is lost. Any suggestions on how to fix the problem would be appreciated.

  • How do I get the PDF Convert feature of Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended 9.4.4, which makes a PDF of a web page interactive, to work in Firefox 4.0.1?

    I just installed (on my Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit) operating system/Intel i5 CPU M560 2.67 GHz) and am now using as my default browser Firefox 4.0.1 because Internet Explorer 9 was giving me so much trouble--lack of display of web content, lack of PDF reproduction when web content displayed, screwball formatting display, etc., all of which has been remedied by the mere installation of Firefox 4.0.1.
    How do I get the PDF Convert feature of Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended 9.4.4, which converts a web page to an interactive PDF, to set up and work on Firefox 4.0.1?

    You can not do that using Adobe Acrobat 9. Adobe never made a create PDF add-on for Firefox for use with Adobe Acrobat 9. They created a Firefox add-on for use with Acrobat X, but currently that one does not work with Firefox 4 though Adobe are working on an update.
