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?

Not so much Excel (or, at least not so much that I remember) but I've read a

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

File formatting issues when saving PDF as PPTX in Acrobat XI Pro

Hi guys,
I have some issues when I'm saving my PDF (initially comming from InDesign) as PPTX. The format is suddenly changing, leaving a blank zone, and some of the pages are rotated.
Is it a problem comming from the Indesign or from the Acrobat options itself? I have already tried changing the chekboxes in the option box when I'm saving, but nothing worked.
If someone has an idea how to fix that, i would be very grateful! Thanks in advance

Which dot version of Acrobat XI are you currently using in your export? Is the PDF file tagged? If not, then you may want to tag the PDF file before exporting it.

Spacing Issues when making PDF of HTML file

I am making changes to a website and need to convert an html file into a pdf file (for easy printability on the website). When I try to create the PDF file (in Acrobat) by opening the HTML file, it does not keep the same formating. Anyplace there is a picture on right hand side of the page, the wording to the left of the picture drops to below the picture and I need it to stay next to the picture.
Any suggestions? Thanks

You might also have to change the paper size before you print. Keep in mind that HTML has a floating format and typically looks different on different machines.

Excel 2007 "Hang" issue when copy/pasting.

Hi.
I have a user, using terminal services from a HP thin client. The server is a Windows server 2008 R2 SP1, Office 2007 SP3. The user is trying to copy from a IBM access session into Excel, sometimes the Excel will hang, an needs to be forcefully closed down
using the Task Manager. I have made sure that the IBS Access is using the clipboard function on the server. Other users can copy/paste from this program without any issues. The server is fully updated and the office pack also.
Any suggestions on where to start?
Regards Martin

Hi Martin,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Thus from your description it seems that particular user is facing the hangs issue, please correct me if there is anything misunderstand from my side.
Does this happens for all Excel file with that user?
Please try with RDP 8.1 for user and check the result. Please check the network connectivity is good. As user is copy pasting from IBM session it can create a little delay with file size or corrupt Excel file. The issue might also appear because the size for
Excel sheet would be very high and thus during the logon time it will take a long time to open. Also it may take into hang issue for the users. In addition also check below link for information.

The numbering format keeps changing when making PDF's from Word 2007 ? Using Acrobat 9 Pro Extended

The numbering in (Contents) format keeps changing when making PDF's from Word 2007 ? Using Acrobat 9 Pro Extended.

When we convert to PDF some of the numbers change. Example 20 becomes 201.

Excel Export Formatting Issue

HI,
I am working with CR XI R2 and asp.net2.0.
I am facing some formatting issue when the report is exported to excel.
I have to maintain the same formatting as in the crystal report ,when the data is exported to excel.
My report is a tabular report.I tried exporting the report from Crystal report designer.Not via web application.
I have used the data only option.When i used the other option (Excel 97-2000(xls)) the text was getting rotated at 90 degree but other formatting was not exported correctly.So i found data only option was more appropriate in my case.
I hope same things can be achieved by asp.net also one we get it in the designer.
while exporting from the designer,the main issues i am facing are
    1) In the report some headings i have put at 90 degree rotation.
        When it gets exported to excel the headings are getting exported with 0 degree rotation.
2) I have applied some back groud color for groupfooter and page header.
     This setting is also not getting exported .the report is getting exported with out any back ground color formatting
Is there any way to attach the exported pdf and excel file ,so that the issue would be more clear for you all.
Please let me know if you require more information.
Regards,
smitha

Hi Smitha,
Use the other option of Microsoft Office Excel Workbook(*.xls) instead of (Excel 97-2000(xls))

Acrobat X Pro hangs when making PDF. Using on Windows 7 64. Just started hanging. Uninstalled and reinstalled. Installed update. Once it hangs, must go into crtl, alt, delete to force close.

As a debugging step, try printing to the Adobe PDF printer. If that fails, repeat with print-to-file selected. Assuming the print succeeds, open the file in Distiller to complete the creation of the PDF. If you get the PDF, then check to see if AcroTray is properly working as a background task.

Enable Excel 2007 format export on Crystal Reports Server 2008 - Sharepoint

I'm trying to use Sharepoint's excel services to post some charts from an exported Crystal report to sharepoint. However Crystal Reports Server 2008 only exports excel 97-2003 format. How can I update the Crystal Reports Server 2008 components to support Excel 2007 format. Has anyone done this before?
Thanks,
Dominic

Unfortunately what you are looking for is not possible (At least as far as I know). Crystal is limited to the formats that it already has - and it is not possible to add additional export formats.
Sorry

Pagination Incorrect When Making PDF from Word

When making a pdf from Word using the "Fully Functional PDF" setting in Acrobat 8 Professional, I often get incorrect Acrobat pagination that changes to "1 of 1," 2 of 2," etc. instead of "1 of 2," 2 of 2." Typically, I download both Acrobat and Windows updates, but today that did not help. The only way the pdf pagination is correct is if I choose the "Quick and Simple PDF" selection, but the graphics display is not satisfactory.
So my workaround today was to hard number the document. Anyone else have this problem? This has been an annoying and intermittent problem since we upgraded to MS Office 2007.

I suspect that you will find the same behavior if you print to paper (worth trying for a few pages). If so, then you are looking at a WORD bug. I know that one version of WORD had such a bug. But then, it also seems that MS put some hooks in the process for PDF creation, but that is only a conjecture. Anyway, be sure you have updated WORD. Acrobat does not change things, but gives you what was sent to it -- the reason I would strongly suggest this is probably a WORD issue. However, I rarely claim it says there is a bug in WORD, just highly likely.
This has been reported before and I think the update was the solution. You might want to do a bit of searching.

Sounds like you’re using Preview on your Mac instead of Acrobat.
Preview can’t handle advanced PDFs.
