Excel 2007 chart PDFMaker

Any idea why I can't get the Create PDF addin to convert a Excel 2007 chart properly? I lose part of the chart after I convert to PDF. I changed the preferences to "Fit Worksheet to a single page," but that didn't work.
Thank you,

The pdf document only shows the top left corner of the excel chart. When I print to pdf, it works fine. When I use the addin, it doesn't work.

Excel 2007 Formatting Issues When Making PDF

Running Excel 2007 on XP Pro. When I make a pdf file from an existing Excel file in Excel 2007 (originally created in Excel 2000), a lot of the formatting changes. Cells that were aligned to the center are now aligned to the top or bottom with no rhyme or reason.
I would hate to have to go through and fix all the alignment problems in Excel 2007.
Any suggestions or has anybody else had this problem?

Microsoft Excel (2007) Charts in Illustrator CS2

In the past I was able to take any charts from Microsoff Excel 2003 - select them, copy them, and paste them into CS2. The company recently upgraded to 2007 as a stepping stone to 2010. Now when I copy charts they either come over as a rasterized image or all of the fonts get changed to "Small Fonts" and all of the kerning and spacing is messed up. I have tried PDFing them and that works to a certain extent, but the graphs from Excel come over as rasterized images - no good for me. I need to be able to modify the charts as needed in Illustrator.
Thanks for any help!

I tried to replicate your problem, not having CS2, I tried 2003 to CS5 and 2007 to CS4 and it worked ok in both cases. In excel you can copy data or chart as pictures but it is not the default behavior, try pasting inside excel in another sheet, to see if it is still editable, if it isn't probably it is being copied as picture.

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)

Printing to a PDF printer form Word 2007-missing charts

Hi,
I have a word document in 2007. I have pasted 2 charts in it from EXcel 2007. when I try to print to the Adobe pdf printer , the charts dispaeepar..I know that you can SAve as pdf. but I trying to find the reason why? , please help thanks

Sometimes these problems appear due to MS, not just Acrobat so try trouble shooting there also. A first step is to check the print preview and also try to print a sample to paper. You did not indicate the Acrobat version. If it is AA ?.0, then you definitely need to update your Acrobat and that might resolve the problem.
WORD sometimes has problems if you link charts and such, so you might try a version of the WORD file with the charts totally embedded.

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.

Saving to PDF using VBA in Excel 2007 using security features such as password and print restriction

Good Afternoon,
I am wondering if there is a way to implement the security features such as password and print restriction while saving a document to PDF using VBA in Excel 2007.
Regards,
Steve

Bill,
Thank you. I was able to find the security setting section. The problem I have now, however, is writing the VBA to save to PDF and incorporate the security settings. I thought if i applied the settings to the Excel document I was working on it would carry over, but this does not seem to be the case. Any idea's?
Regards,
Steve

Copied a chart as picture in Excel 2007, but picture size goes out of whack in InDesign

I copied a chart as picture in Excel 2007 (selected as shown when printed), but the picture expands across the whole page when I paste into Indesign. Pls help

To place an Excel chart, first convert it to PDF. Then place the PDF file in InDesign.
Copying objects from Excel isn't reliable.

Excel 2007 pie chart conversion issue

I'm having issues converting my Excel 2007 spreadsheet that contains several pie charts into pdf. It will convert fine for everything but the pie charts. Their edges or outlines look perfect in Excel and the print preview, but once converted to pdf they're all choppy and rough looking. How can I fix this, as it makes the pdf look very unprofessional. I'm on Vista with all the latest updated, use office 2007 with all updates installed and adobe acrobat 8 with all the updates. I tried converting it through the acrobat feature in excel, as well as the print to pdf option. I even went so far to reinstall office 2003, with the same result. the pies were looking a bit smoother, but still way too choppy. how can i get adobe to convert perfect circular pie charts?
thanks!

From the ribbon>Acrobat>Create PDF. This gives me the ability to choose which tabs I want to include in the report.
I made PDF Printer my default and it worked! Thanks!
Why do you think my ribbon function doesn't work?

I can no longer create a PDF with Save As in Excel 2007

I can no longer complete a full page of my graphs with the "Save As" function in Excell 2007 and have tried various methods to correct my problem from pagination to finally completely recreating the graphs as the original file was created in Excel 2003. What happens is it cuts off the right hand margin of my pages and scews all the graphs so they do no appear as they do in the print preview of Excel. Does anyone have any solutions? Thank you.

Change the printer to the Adobe PDF printer before you start looking at the print margins and such. (I am assuming you are using the Acorbat process with Excel 2007 and not the MS plug in.) Once you have the printer selected, then look at the preview and such. Excel and WORD both reflow documents based on the printer that is attached. It may be that simple.

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.

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.

Excel 2007 will not print

Hi - I have an HP Pavillion dv2000 running 32 bit Vista and an HP Photosmart C4280 Al-in-One. The two get along quite well except for Excel 2007. The printer will print Word and .pdf documents but when I try to print Excel I get a message saying there are no printers installed. This problem started about 6 months to a year ago. Any ideas? Thanks.

Hi - Since you can print from other apps, here are a couple of suggestions.
- Try installing the printer driver that comes with Vista. Go into Control Panel/Printers, choose Add Printer, HP and select your printer model (I believe Vista comes with a specific choice for your printer). If you don't see your printer in there, you might re-install the printer driver that came with the printer.
- For whatever reason, Excel is not reading the printers installed in Windows, so I'd recommend re-installing Excel. Excel should be looking to Windows for a list of installed printers.
Hope that helps.

Problems with Excel 2007 PDF conversion

I'm trying to convert an Excel 2007 workbook into a PDF. I installed Acrobat 8.1.3 Professional onto my machine and it put an Acrobat Menu choice in Excel. So I can convert, but now I have a host of problems/issues, probably arising from the fact that I'm new to this.
1. The Acrobat add-in moved my Page Breaks inside Excel
2. Now I can't seem to change the page breaks at all in Page Break Preview
3. My Reset Page Breaks in Excel is grayed out
4. Acrobat conversion gave me a message "Cannot create tags for Worksheets with Print Titles. Clear Print Titles field in Page Setup dialog". I did have Print titles, but now in that dialog box they don't show. The field isn't even editable.
I have saved the Excel file, not realizing that this Acrobat add-in has apparently altered the Excel file itself. I am now told by someone that I should just not use that Acrobat menu in Excel, and load the Excel file from Acrobat 8 itself. Nice to know. But is there anyway to "reset" my Excel file and remove/adjust what's been done to it, especially the Page Breaks. Or am I missing something obvious?

In general, you should not have the page breaks and all locked out by the addition of the Adobe PDF printer and converter. One trick to pull is to try to find the option in Excel Options that allows the output to use the printer metrics and be sure it is turned off. That should mean that you do not get changes as you change the printer. However, the issue of some of your menu items being locked and such is strange.
