How do I convert an excel file to a pdf, NOT a pdf to excel

Until this year, I've been running OSX 10.5 Leopard. When I wanted to convert a Microsoft for Mac Excel worksheet to a pdf file, I simply clicked File/Print/PDF (in the lower left corner of the dialogue box)/then, Save as pdf. No problem, perfect pdf file. Upon upgrading to Mavericks this year, the resulting pdf file is filled with a checkerboard pattern that effectively renders the file useless if read onscreen. How can I get rid of the checkerboard?

    How do I convert an ASP file into a PDF?

    None of the free Adobe Reader products (Adobe Reader Touch, Adobe Reader for iOS/Android, Adobe Reader XI for desktop) provide the support for converting ASP to PDF.
    Acrobat XI Pro and Standard (which are not free) can convert an ASP page into PDF.
    Please note that Acrobat XI Pro, Standard, and Reader XI are not compatible with the Windows RT operating system.

  • How do i convert a word file into a pdf file?

    How do I convert a word document into a .pdf file?

    Hi wertheca,
    If you have Acrobat, (full version), you can convert a file to PDF by choosing File > Create > PDF from File. Then you choose your Word document, and click Open to convert the file to PDF.
    If you don't have Acrobat, you can use an Acrobat online services subscription to convert almost any format of file to a PDF with just a click or two. For more information, see Acrobat Plus, PDF Pack, Export PDF & More | Acrobat Document Solutions
    I hope this helps.

  • How do I convert a MSWord file in a pdf file

    Hello...
    I want to convert a MSWord file in a pdf file automaticly within a Servlet.
    I don't know exactly what library I should use. The word file can contain
    any number of things(images,tables,special characters).... I've seen that with iText I have to consider each situation separatly(I have to know what's in the word file in order to generate the pdf file--this becomes very complicated)... Is there any other solution...other product that that can interpret the content of the word file and then convert it in pdf?
    Can anyone give me a hint?
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for the quick repsonse! That is what I thought but in Aperture (V 3.4.5) I do not have a PDF option under Print!! Is it possibly hidden somewhere?
    You first should get a panel with the page layout, and when you press the "Print" button in the panel,  you'll see the Printer settings. Here you should find the "PDF" button in the lower left corner.

    Hi there,
    There's actually an easy streamlined way to do this using Acrobat.com. Here are the steps:
    1. Log in to Acrobat.com with your Adobe ID.
    2. On the left, you'll see a navigation menu that includes the item "Import and Edit". Click that.
    3. Choose the .doc (Word) file you want to convert and upload it to Buzzword.
    4. After making sure that it looks the way you want it to, go to the top menu (still in Buzzword now, not the organizer where all your files live) and click the document menu. There will be an option to "Export" - choose that.
    5. When prompted to select filetype, choose "Adobe PDF" and press OK.
    6. It'll save to your desktop, so now you have to get it into your acrobat.com organizer. To do that, close the Buzzword document by clicking the little "x" in the upper right corner, under the Sign Out button. This'll get you back to your organizer, where you can choose "Import" from the left nav menu again. This time choose your new PDF file.
    7. Select the  file icon in the organizer and click the Share button. Or, select Share  from the file context menu.
    8. Select Allow Anyone With A  Link To Share This Document to set the document to open access, and then  click Copy Embed Code. The necessary HTML code to embed the preview is  copied onto the clipboard.
    9. Open the HTML file and paste  the code into the file. The Flash previewer can display any file type  that you can convert to PDF.
    Hope this helps! Good luck, and let us know how it works out.

  • How do I convert/merge multiple files (word and PDF) into one PDF?

    I have multiple word docs and PDF files that I need to merge into one file.  How do I do that?

    You should be able to do it in the image processor.
    File > Scripts > Image Processor
    If it doesn't have the options you want, then make an action using "Save for Web", then run the action on a batch of files using
    File > automate > batch
    Select your action from the dropdown menu.
