Excel and Acrobat 7

Hi,
I am trying to print/convert 2 of 3 sheet in an excel (2003) document to pdf. When I preview the document, I can see that there are two sheets. I am expecting both sheets to be converted to one document, however Acrobat tries to create 2 documents of the same name. It pops up a Save File As dialog box for page one and then for page 2 instead of creating one file with both pages.
I have played around and gotten it to print both pages to one file, but I am unable to get it to do it consistently.
Can you please assist me with figuring out what setting I can configure to ensure that it will always work as expected...meaning, if I try to convert two pages from one file to pdf, it should convert to one pdf file with two pages.
Thank you in advance,

OK - Just so I understand correctly, I recently spent $1400 on a state of the art computer with the latest and greatest capabilities. Concurrently, I puchased Acrobat X, also new and improved. Since Acrobat X can't complete this simple task, I must have the wrong computer. Is that what you are saying?

How to set my computer settings to download excel and acrobat files from website

How do I adjust settings to download acrobat and excel files from website. I've already run a
diagnostic on my security program and it is not a security issue.

You may have forgotten to post some information, but I fail to see in which way your question is related with Adobe Reader.

Acrobat Pro XI . converting of excel and word to pdf

After installing Acrobat Pro XI two days ago, the conversions of excel and word to pdf are less than optimal. Poor fonts, color and sometimes blurry.

That's very kind of you Bill.
Since my last forum post I have uninstalled Acrobat Pro, - with its updates - and reinstalled the original from disk. The conversion from Word 2007 to PDF is working fine. And that was where I was prepared to leave it. Of course any updates would not be possible.
However, since you have offered to help, I'd be most grateful of any assistance.
To answer your question, the usual way I create PDF files from Word is from within the open Word program. From there I can simply 'Save As' to PDF format.
That's the way MS says to do it. Is there another way? The updates stop this working. The process begins but then stops part way through and dies. No pdf file is created.
I'm not familiar with the print to file option. I had a look at print options from within Word but no mention of any PDF Maker although Adobe PDF is listed as a printer. However, if I try to print to Adobe PDF I get an error saying there is an error in the printer setup.
With thanks

Problem with "Save as Adobe PDF format" in Excel and Word

Hi
When I use printing zone in Excel and make a «Save as Adobe PDF format» (menu File / Save as Adobe PDF), the first save is well done. But when I make it a second time, what's not in the printing zone is printing in the document.
I have also problem with the «Save as Adobe PDF format» in Word. The images superposition are not well print.
I'm using Windows 7 in french, Office 2010 french and Adobe Acrobat XI standard. All is in the latest version.
Thanks

The Save As PDF feature in Office2008 Call up a PDF Creator similar to the AdobePDF Print Driver. whch OX.6 can't use.
To create Pdf you have to use method used:
http://indesignsecrets.com/acrobats-adobe-pdf-printer-replaced-in-snow-leopard.php
Not before you attempt to use this method if Rossetta is not installed. pop in your Systems DVD and install Rosetta. Then follow directions to install the Adobe Quality PDF Automator Script which will show up in the Print Menu. Click on Print > then click PDF. Then Click on Adobe quality PDF. AS for setting up Job options and other details Supposedly your suppose to have access. But I have no idea.
First thing Rosetta should be installed out of the box. and Second Adobe should install this Script from their installer. So their should be no intervention from the user. it should just work. Early report when OSX.6 first came out almost no one was able to get this to work. and I see periodic reports that people still can't get it tork and they have to to resort to saving as .ps files then droping on distiller.
Good luck.

How do I create the highest quality pdfs with InDesign CS5 and Acrobat Pro 9? New settings needed?

I sent a lot of jobs to printing companies by sending them high-res proofs on very large, multiple page jobs with lots of photos and graphics. Many companies are requesting that I just send pdfs. I just upgraded to Windows 7 and CS5. I used to have some special settings in my older Acrobat Distiller and InDesign which have been lost. They gave a much better result that what I seem to be getting from the "Press Quality" setting for pdf's. Does anyone have an excellent list of settings that can used to improve the quality of pdf's? I don't know if this is a combination of settings in both InDesign itself, as well as in Acrobat Distiller, or if the settings in one program will solve this. I have a job pending that needs improvement in the pdf quality. Thank you.

Thanks Peter. My last post was specific to using the Print Booklet feature (which is now solved thanks to your help). But this is related to creating high-res pdfs in general that go to printing companies, and being used for sending high-res proofs to clients. In general I don't need to set up printer spreads for my jobs (just for the one I asked about in my other post), but I used to have some specific settings that a printing company supplied me with to give the highest res pdf output possible. Those settings did in fact give a better result than the Press Quality settings built into my Adobe programs. I have had printers over the years request that I create a postscript file, then use distiller (using the settings they supplied) and I got an excellent result. After getting a new computer, Windows 7 and new CS5 and Acrobat Pro 9 upgrade, all of these settings were lost. I have notes on the settings from a couple of years ago, but they don't seem to apply to the CS5 programs in every given area and I feel like there may be just a couple of boxes that either should or shouldn't be checked that I'm missing now.
I understand that this is very specific information, and I may just need to go with the Press Quality settings. The printing company that gave me that great info a while back is no longer in business and other printing companies I have checked with won't spend that kind of time with me (or maybe they don't know anything other than using the Print Quality setting). Maybe within the CS5 program now, the quality of this setting has been improved more than I realize yet. Again, I'm new to CS5 and am just trying to get everything back to the way I used to have things running, and trying to get the best results possible.
Thanks again!

Converting from Excel and saving embedded links

I'm using Microsoft Office Excel 2003, sp3 and Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional (7.0.9). I have some Excel pages that have embedded hyperlinks in them linking to other internal web pages. When I print to "Adobe PDF" it shows the links underlined, but they're not actual links, rather underlined text. I used to be able to do this but I'm not sure if a patch was applied that made this not work. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you,
Clyde Porpid

Ok.. Here's the last thing I recieved from Microsoft. Apparently it's an Adobe issue.
MESSAGE:
********************** The message for you follows ************************ Good afternoon Clyde ,
It has been my pleasure to work with you on your Microsoft Excel 2003 issue. Based on our last conversation I am closing your case at this time. If you find that your issue has not been fully resolved, please notify me as soon as possible, and I will reopen it.
As I close this issue let me assure you that your opinions are very important. If you have any comments regarding the service you received from Microsoft Enterprise Platforms Support regarding this issue. Please let me or my manager, Ken XXXX ([email protected]), know if there is anything that we can address to ensure your satisfaction with the overall service I provided.
Here is a summary of the key points of the case for your records.
Action:
Using the Adobe Professional installed Addin to convert Excel files to PDF format.
Result:
The resultant PDF file does not contain the expected Hyperlink as entered in the Excel file.
Cause:
The Adobe converter uses the Adobe Print Driver to convert files and within this uses OCR technology to produce the PDF. This does not allow the Adobe application to see the underlying HTTP URL and such only reads the Text Displayed.
Resolution:
Alteration of the information in the page to be a HTTP URL will correct the issue. Use of Office 2007 and the Save As PDF functionality produces the expected output as well. All versions of the Adobe Print Driver through 8 produce the same results.
Thank you for working with Enterprise Support and Services for Business Applications, Chris XXXX, MCSE Microsoft Excel and Excel Services Support Engineer

Color mismatch Windows 8.1 and Acrobat X and XI Pro

I am creating a PDF from Excel 2013 using both Acrobat X and Acrobat XI on my ASUS laptop running Windows 8.1. Text that is blue in Excel 2013 looks purple both in the PDF and when viewing the uploaded PDF in Internet Explorer. The text in the PDF looks blue when viewed on other systems running Windows 7, Office 2010 or 2013 and Acrobat X. On the Windows 8.1 laptop, the colors in the same uploaded PDF also look correct when viewed using Google Chrome. There appears to be a compatability/color issue with WIndows 8.1 and Acrobat X and XI. Anyone else run into a similar issue?

Copying tables in pdf's to excel in Acrobat Standard 7.0.8

Hi there
I am having problems copying tables of numbers from pdf's into excel in Acrobat Standard 7.0.8. I am finding that when I select data in a table, right-click, and select 'Copy As Table', only about 50% of the time will the data be pasted correctly into appropriate rows and columns in Excel. The rest of the time the all of the data is pasted into a single cell making it impossible to work with.
I have tried various permutations of the settings under Edit > Preferences > General > Selection for 'Text Selection Margin' and 'Column Selection Margin', although have never found anything that fixes the problem.
The unusual thing is that I used to have Acrobat version 5, in which copying data from pdf's to excel used to work *perfectly*.
Does anyone have any suggestions about how to fix this feature in version 7? Your thoughts much appreciated. Thanks.
LK

It only copies correctly if you have a table that was created with the proper markup. It sounds like some of the tables you have appear to be tables, but are missing the markup. As I understand the process in the current Acrobat versions, you will not be able to create the fields correctly in that case.
With AA5 (or maybe it was AA6), you could select a column much like selecting a graphic. That is no longer available, but would have met your need. Bill

Problems Exporting to Excel in Acrobat XI

I have some problems exporting a PDF to excel in Acrobat Std or Pro XI but not in Acrobat Std or Pro X. When exporting in X all the columns and rows are created as they should be, but in XI everything is slammed to the left in one column. Has anyone experienced anything like this and is there maybe a setting that I am missing in the conversion process that was automatic in X but is not in XI?
Thanks in advance for the help.

I am having a similar problem. I used the 30 trial acrobat XI and it exports pdf to excel perfectly. However, after buying and installing the program, the export is all messed up with data not in correct columns...etc.
Acrobat tech controlled my computer and experimented a bit. He said that my pdf was created by a 3rd party application called crystal reports and that acrobat doesn't work on about 50% of these 3rd party creations. I said, then why does the trial work so well. He said there is nothing different between the trial version and the actual purchased version. This cannot be true or something else is up. I told him I wanted to uninstall my purchased program and reinstall the trial version just to prove it to him. He said it would not allow me to reinstall the Trial.
After my phone call was over, I did it anyways. It did let me reinstall the trial version. I took 7 pdf sent to me from work from each server (wanted to make sure one of my servers was not sending different types of pdfs). Each pdf did not convert successfully when I used my purchased version. Then I uninstalled and reinstalled the trial version. The trial version successfully exporting my pdf to excell (all 7 of them). Something weird is going on.
Any insight would be appreciated.

Converting Word, Excel, and others in 1 pfd file

Hi,
Can I take multiple word, excel, and publisher docs and convert them into a single multiple page pdf file?
Right now I am trying the free online version and I can create a pdf but then I wish to add files to that pdf that I just created.
Long story short, I am trying to create a portfolio that I can email?
Thanks
Scott

Hi Scott,
Thank you for posting. I believe you may have already recieved an answer to this question since you wrote to our feedback email, but I'll post a reply here too - just in case.
It's not currently possible for Acrobat.com to merge separate files into a single PDF; this functionality is on our list of enhancements, so I encourage you to stay tuned for future releases. In the meantime, to create PDF portfolios, you'll have to use Adobe Acrobat desktop software. You can download a free 30-day trial here:

I hope this will be helpful to you. Please let me know if you have any further questions.
Best,
Rebecca

Unable to create pdf's in Excel since Acrobat updated 23rd April 2010

Since Acrobat updated this morning myself and several colleagues are no longer able to create pdf's in Microsoft Excel.
Using Excel 2003 SP3 and Acrobat pro 9 V9.3.2
The excel file to be pdf'd includes text boxes, graphics and the usual spreadsheet data.
I have restarted etc...
Has anyone else had this problem? Know of a workaround?
Many thanks,
Matt

I have not had the problem, but how are you trying to produce the PDF for those that might be able to answer the question. There are several methods and the answer may depend on your answer. Also, can you not create one at all, or is it that either PDF Maker or the Adobe PDF printer do not work?

Annoying toolbar in Excel and Word

After installing Master Collection CS3, my Microsoft Word and
Excel now have an annoying Contribute toolbar that appears EVERY
time I start them up. I know how to hide the toolbar, but it just
appears again at every startup of either Word or Excel.
How do I get rid of this 'infection'? I do not want this
toolbar (or menu) in my Microsoft Office programs.
Thanks

Thanks ThinkInk... that did it! Here's the whole solution:
Contribute was installed as part of the whole CS3 Master
Collection, and therefore none of the adobe products show up in the
add/remove programs list, and therefore you cannot modify the
install for an individual adobe product.
I tried to unregister the officeplugin.dll like this:
regsvr32 /u "c:\program files\adobe\adobe contribute
cs3\officeplugin.dll"
but I get an error that says it can't be unregistered.
SOLUTION:
I renamed the officeplugin.dll to officeplugin.dll.OLD and
this SOLVED the problem (thanks fydo1974). The toolbar and menu no
longer appear in Word or Excel .
And just in case you need to make the toolbar
active/available again, I confirmed that the following does work
and will re-register the plugin. I'm using Win XP Pro, so from the
command line, type:
cd c:\windows\system32
and then type:
regsvr32 "c:\program files\adobe\adobe contribute
cs3\officeplugin.dll"
Now this still doesn't solve the problem of Adobe putting it
there in the first place without asking!!! Where can we report this
BUG to Adobe?
I also wanted to get rid of the Adobe PDF and Acrobat Comment
menus that appeared when Acrobat was installed. I'm not sure if
there is a officeplugin.dll file in the acrobat folder, because I
found the following solution first and it worked:
Look for the Acrobat msi file that is left behind it the
acrobat folder:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Setup
Files\{nnnnnnnnn-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx}\AcroPro.msi
Run the AcroPro.msi application, select the "Modify"
installation option, go to "Create Adobe PDF" and then for the
"Acrobat PDFMaker" I choose "this feature will not be available",
and complete the installation modification. MS-Office apps and IE
have no Acrobat toolbars or menus: just the situation I wanted.

I use Entourage for all my email and Excel and Word. From time to time one or other will drop out which means re starting the iMac. A real pest.

I use Entourage for my email and Excel and Word for their respective applications. From time to time one or other will drop out which means re starting the iMac. A real pest. Comments would be welcomed.

Not sure how to do this except to reply to myself.
The question I asked is not "answered," but for whatever reason Acrobat XI has settled down and is working normally as before. Don't have a clue why. I did not make any further changes in anything. Thanks to those who read my question and pondered.

Excel to Acrobat - picking up all the fields

I am curious - Is there a sure fire way for Acrobat to recognize an Excel cell as a form field? I have attempted a number of imports on an Excel created sales order form to which there seems to be no rhyme or reason as to which cells it recognizes as a form field or not. Is there a format I can save to or a way to label the cell in Excel where Acrobat will assume it is a form field?

NO I just Tried myself and I created Excel Form with Check Box and converted it to an adobe form and it didn't recognize the check boxes I had to add the check boxes myself and boy was that a Pain. You better off creating the Unfilled Excel File and converting it to form.
