Converting Excel 2010 charts creates duplicate pages

Anyone else have this problem? I am using Microsoft Office 2010 and Acrobat Pro X
1. Create a Microsoft Excel 2010 file, throw in some data, and create at least 2 charts (column, line, pie... doesn't matter)
2. Select a chart and under the Chart Tools > Design tab, click "Move Chart Location" to move both of these charts to their own dedicated SHEET.
3. You should now have two new tabs along the bottom for the charts. Select both of the tabs by clicking the first tab, holding SHIFT, and clicking the second tab. *
4. Go to the Acrobat tab and click "Create PDF." Chart 1 and Chart 2 should already appear in the "Sheets in PDF" box, so go ahead and click "Convert to PDF" You should end up with a 2 page PDF..... right?
5. Hey Presto! A 4 page document! (Try this with THREE charts... you get a NINE page document. Four charts? You guessed it, 16 pages.)
* NOTE: This problem only occurs if you select the tabs by the method described in Step 3. If you select only ONE tab, and then select the worksheets using the Acrobat dialog box, it seems to work fine. So, yeah, there is a workaround... but it seems like something that should work either way, right?

I don't want to beat a dead horse here but... anyone have any insight on this? Can anyone else duplicate this problem? Is this a bug that might be fixed in the future?
Thanks

Posting a chart created with Pages

I created a chart.
I want to post it on an internet board.
I see no way to convert this chart to jpeg, gif or anything else that is usable.
How do you add a chart created with Pages to an internet post or a blog?
Thank you in advance for any help.
I have trouble believing this can not be done.

It's not hidden.
We have two ways to create PDFs
(a) Print as PDF
(b) Share > Export > PDF.
If you enter the "Pages User Guide", which is available to all of us, and search for the intricate keyword "PDF" you will get (page 35)
You can also export Pages documents to Microsoft Word, PDF, Rich Text Format (RTF), and Plain Text. See “Exporting to Other Document Formats” on page 249 for details.
Page 249 you will read:
Exporting to Other Document Formats
You can share your Pages documents across different platforms by exporting them to other formats, such as Microsoft Word, PDF, or plain text.
If the document you want to export is password-protected, the password protection is removed from Word, RTF, and plain text formats.
To export a document to another file format:
1 Choose Share > Export.
2 Choose a format for the document and click Next.
3 Type a new name for the document.
4 Choose where you want to save the document.
5 Click Export.
You can export a Pages document in these formats:
• PDF files can be created using an image quality of good, better, or best. When the image quality is set to best, the resolution of images isn’t scaled down. When the image quality is set to better, images are downsampled to 150 dpi. When the image quality is set to good, images are downsampled to 72 dpi. Images without an alpha channel are JPEG compressed with a compression level of 0.7 at the good setting and 0.9 at the better setting.
You can password-protect your PDF. To learn more about securing your document,
see “Password-Protecting Your Document” on page 35.
When you export a Pages document, hyperlinks are exported. Hyperlinks are
created in the PDF document for table of contents entries, footnotes and endnotes, webpages, email messages, and bookmarks.
The PDF file, which preserves font characters used in the document, can be viewed or printed in Preview, viewed or printed in Safari, and edited with a PDF application.

Why is Enable Usage Rights creating Duplicate Pages?

I have created a dynamic PDF form in LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2. The form is formatted correctly and has no duplicate pages when examining the not-enabled form in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9. However, when I attempt to Enable Usage Rights so that external users can download the form and fill in the fields, the ENABLED version has duplicate pages. I do not understand why because the original document does not have these duplicates - they only appear when I Enable the Usage Rights. I cannot delete these duplicate pages in the Enabled version. Please help!

hello, these are the files where firefox stores its cache - you won't need ccleaner (in fact it will only slow things down as you've already noticed, since those files have to be recreated after the next start of the browser), you can also clear the cache with the built-in mechanism in firefox: [[How to clear the Firefox cache]]

Microsoft Excel 2010 has overlaying, duplicate screens

My clients Microsoft Excel 2010 is showing two copies of the page on top of each other. This shows a confusing image. I scanned his hard drive and it is good. He is operating on a Dell E5420 with 4GB of RAM. I would attach a screenshot
but MS won't let me until my account is verified.

Re: seeing double
Maybe there is a picture of the sheet on top of the actual sheet.
Try clicking each of the "sheets" and pressing the delete key.

How Do I get data merge to work without creating duplicate pages in a single page native file?

I've called Adobe about this and they indicated it was some kind of setting that needed to be changed in InDesign, but wouldn't tell me how to do it unless I paid for an "incident pack" and talked with technical support.
Problem: I have a single page document in InDesign CS5. It's a direct-mail postcard with large high-res images and complicated graphics on it. I want to merge a list of recipients names/addresses from Excel with this single-page design. Excel document has 2,000 names in it.
I successfully create the merge using InDesign's data merge feature, but it creates a new InDesign document with 2,000 pages in it. Each page is a duplicate of my original file, but with different addresses on each page. Because of the multiple records and the high res images it has created 2,000 duplicates of - InDesign crashes. It also took about 4 hours to do the merge.
There has got to be a better way to merge data w/o it created the same page over and over again.
I can't make a pdf to solve this problem becasue I have to work with an in-house printer and they do a poor job of printing from pdf. So, I always send them native files. This printer does not have variable data software. However, if that is the fast and easy solution to this problem - I will force them to purchase it.
Any advise or solution to this problem would be appreciated. Is there a setting in InDesign that needs to change so it doesn't repeat the single page design 2,000 times and cause InDesign to crash?
Thank you.

That's exactly how Data Merge works. If it's on the page, it gets duplicated. 2000 records is a lot, so I'm not sure if the images or the sheer number is what's slowing things down.
One thing you can try is to moove everything EXCEPT the merge placeholders to a master page, then assign the [None] master to the page with the placeholder anbd do the merge. Change the master to the one with your static content after the merge. That might speed up the merge, but it won't do anything for the file being 2000 pages that each has to RIP for printing. The best way to deal with this is to find a printer who can do VDP printing and give him the template file and your data file, and let him do the merge in the print stream.

Import color schemes to Excel 2010

Hi, Everyone
I really need your help for Excel 2010.
For excel 2003, when I import color scheme from another excel: on the menu bar>tools>options>color
tab in the "copy color from" box, click the down arrow and select the workbook which contains the color schemes
Then I can find and use the color imported.
For 2010, Click the Microsoft Office Button, and then click Excel Options. Click on Save.
Under 'Preserve Visual Appearance of the workbook'
Click on Colors
Click on 'dropdown box' of Copy Colors from and select the file I want to copy the colors from and click OK.
Click OK to close the Excel Options dialog box.
In Excel 2010, I cann't find the color imported in the color palette, nor use it of cause.
If you have any idea, please don't hesitate put your answers, I really need the solution for it. Thanks in advanced

Hi,
I tried the following and it worked!
To copy your existing colour palette to a document or template in Excel 2010:
<dir>
Open the file (containing the existing colour palette to copy) with version Excel 2010
Go to tab "Page Layout"
Click on the Icon "Themes" (Themes menu)
Go to the bottom page and click "Save current Theme..."
Give a name with extension *.thmx (e.g. "mycolours.thmx")
The theme will be available to use and copy in other existing Excel documents repeating the actions described.
For new documents the recommendation is to create a workbook or a template.

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 to reserve the page size when exporting to MS Excel 2010

Hello. I have a report which exports to MS Excel 2010. I applied the page size as legal in Crystal Report and would like to use the same page size in Excel
However, MS Excel print preview says the page size is letter.
How could I keep the same page size in Excel as I applied in Crystal Report. We have a lot of business reports and would like to avoid applying page setting manually in Excel when users print them out each time.
Thank you.

Hi Christine
I am in the process of writing a doc on the different options in CR and the "No Printer" option sis one of those. Seeing this post, made me wonder as this looked like a questionable behavior. My testing does not support your observations. Now, I did a very simple test;
Created a report, set "No Printer", set the paper size and legal orientation. Exported to XLS - any format, and the export maintained legal paper size in all instance. I did a few other variations, but I can never get the report to export anything other than Landscape.
Can you please let me know the version of CR you are using?
You may also want to attach the report here with saved data (to attach rename the rpt to txt, then in the reply hit on the "Use advanced editor" link and attach.
BTW.; I am using CR 2013.

How to make Excel 2010 save a HTML report as a file without a folder created

We have a HTML report generated by Oracle Report with headers as below:
<html xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml"
xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office"
xmlns:x="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:excel"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40">
In Excel 2010, after pressing the "save" button (not "save as"), it will by default save the report as web page format instead of xls, a folder "xxx.files" containing some css, xml and html files are created
in it. If user deletes the folder carelessly, the excel report cannot be viewed at all.
In Excel 2003, we can save it directly in its original format simply by pressing the "save" button, without creating a folder. May I know if there are any options in office 2010, macro or registries settings that can make
Excel 2010 to do the same as Excel 2003 when pressing the "save" button? Thanks!

Hi,
According to your description, you want a workaround to avoid creating a new folder when saving a html file in Excel 2010.
In my opinion, this issue is more related to the feature of HTML format or Excel 2010 application rather and I don't think we could resort to a macro or registry settings to avoid that. I suggest you posting it in
Excel IT pro forum for more effective responses.

Using Acrobat X and creating a PDF File from EXCEL 2010, I notice that the Pagination restarts at 1 for each Worksheet included in the PDF.

I use Acrobat X Standard and created a PDF file from two or more worksheets using EXCEL 2010.
The resulting PDF file restarts the PAGE # (In header/footer settings of Excel) at 1 for each worksheet.
However, a colleague of mine who has Acrobat X Pro version, using EXCEL 2010 and same exact file does the same task, he gets a file that starts at page 1 and second worksheet continues the page # from the last page of the First worksheet.
We both are using the ACROBAT menu (not the print to Adobe printer) to create the file so that we can get Bookmarks included in the resulting file for each worksheet.
We cannot figure out any option in Acrobat's preferences that controls the pagination on either of these versions of Acrobat.
So is this just a feature that works one way in Standard version and another way in the Pro version, and the user has no control over it?

This is so sad. I read your comments and I said, "Huh?" Haha!
I tried the indexed color option and it did make the final file smaller. Around 600KB. But there's probably another way to make it even smaller like the gazillion-paged pdf file that I mentioned that was only about 300KB.
And by saying a layout program, does that mean like Adobe InDesign? Does that mean that I should just make my graphics in Photoshop and then import using another program and finish the file there?
What other layout programs can I use?
Thank you so much!

Excel 2010 bug -- cannot place controls on chart properly after changing paper size

I have encountered unexpected behavior in Excel 2010 when placing controls on a chart that is a separate sheet. The issue is that the controls (e.g. spinner, scroll bar, etc.) cannot be placed or moved to the right side or the bottom.
Steps to reproduce:
1) create a chart as a separate sheet
2) change the paper size to, for example, A6 (4.13" x 5.83")
3) change paper size back to Letter (8.5" x 11")
4) controls cannot be placed on right side or bottom of chart.
It appears that instead of using the current dimensions of the chart paper size to determine where controls may be placed, the smallest dimensions that have ever been applied to the chart are used.
I am looking for a workaround for this issue since I would like to use a paper size large than 8.5" x 11", but I cannot place controls on such a chart properly at this time.
Any ideas?

I have found a workaround for this issue:
1) change paper size in your default printer's preferences to the paper size you want in Excel.
2) afterwards insert or create the chart. It is automatically the correct paper size, and controls can be placed or moved properly.
3) change default printer paper size back.
In case your chart has already been created, simply copy the existing chart in step 2 instead of inserting/creating.

Create PDF Acrobat X Pro - does not display embedded excel 2010 tables in word 2010 properly

Hello,
I bought Acrobat X Pro and the first document I used 'Create PDF' on was a Word 2010 document with embedded (read linked) Excel 2010 tables.
When I opened the document after creating it the linked tables had a little arrow in the corner of a white box with a help text message of "click here to activate". The pdf is basically unusable.
Is there a setting to ensure that these embedded excel tables are created as normal tables - I do not want to have to keep pasting in tables/images into my Word documents when they are all updating automatically.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
Regards,
Craig

Hello nmohamm,
To examine the conversion settings in Acrobat, do the following:
1. Select Edit > Preferences
2. In the preferences dialog, select the "Convert From PDF" category.
3. In the "Converting From PDF" list, select "Excel workbook".
4. Click the "Edit Settings" button to view your conversion settings.
