PDF Button in Excel 2013

Hi Guys
I have followed a thread under the same subject matter and the outcome was that the PDF Maker button is not available in Excel 2013 unless you are using Acrobat X1 (11). I subscribe to Creative Cloud and have all the latest applications including Adobe Acrobat X1, but I cannot see a PDF button anywhere like it used to be on Office 2010.
Does anyone have more info on this please.
Thanks.

Acrobat form Creative Cloud, point product subscription, point product perpetual license is still Acrobat. The installed desktop application from any of these are the same.
There is no single "button" associated with PDFMaker in Office 2013 applications.
There file menu ribbon simple has the word "Adobe".
When the "Adobe" tab is clicked the tabs for the various PDFMaker related activities are presented.
+
+
Typically one installs the Office applications first. Then Acrobat is installed.
This sequence lets the Acrobat install locate the support Office applications and setup the PDFMaker add-on to the application.
Be well...

PDF Maker in Excel 2013

I am running Windows 8.1 with Office 2013 and Acrobat XI. Can't get the PDFMaker add in to load automatically in Excel unless I load as Administrator. Can this be fixed?

You have to do the updates to AA XI before the ribbon comes up in OFFICE. OFFICE 2013 came out after AA XI and the updates addressed the fixes.

Create PDF button gone from Excel worksheet

Recently had to restore computer back to factory. I installed full CS4 WebSuite which includes Acrobat. I used to have a PDF button in Excel that would let me create a PDF from an Excel worksheet. How do I get that back? I used to use Office 2003 and now I use Office 2013.
Thanks so much in advance!

The store is at http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobatpro/buying-guide-upgrade-pricing.html. If you click the upgrade option, you will see the option to upgrade to AA XI from the AA X Suite (whatever that is, I assume CS) or from individual products. In your case it is not an individual product, but a suite. If you have questions or want to see if you can get a deal, you will have to call the Adobe sales folks. We can only repeat what we see and have heard from others (except for those folks who have the suite).
You can still print to the Adobe PDF printer from Excel 2013, if you can get AA9 to work on Win8 (an outside chance, but may require some workarounds). You would just not get links or bookmarks. You might see if there is a MS plugin for creating PDFs from Excel. If there is, you might be able to create the PDFs that way and edit in Acrobat 9.

Cannot Insert Object in Excel 2013

I am having trouble inserting PDF's in Excel 2013. I go to Insert-->Object-->Create from File then browse to the PDF and select the checkbox for "Display as Icon." After doing this i get a generic error message that says "Cannot Insert Object." No other details.
Specs:
Windows 7 x64
Office 2013 x64
Adobe Reader X and XI. Tried them both.
What I have tried:
The most common answer I have found was to disable the enhanced security in the Adobe Reader preferences. This does not help.
I also tried downgrading from Adobe Reader XI to Reader x, disabling enhanced security. That does not work either.
I have found a workaround in Excel by going to Insert-->Package and doing it that way, but it does not show the Adobe Reader icon in the spreadsheet when it's done. If there's a way to use this method and still have the adobe icon that'd be great.
I called Microsoft support and they think this is an Adobe issue, because I can insert other things via the create from file method, just not PDF's.
Other notes:
The Insert-->Object-->Create from File method works fine in Excel 2010 so I think that Adobe Reader doesn't do well with Excel 2013.
I need the inserted PDF's in spreadsheets to look a certain way. They must have the Adobe Icon and I need to be able to change the text below the icon.
Does anybody have any suggestions?

Update:
I uninstalled Adobe Reader and tried a different PDF reader and the insert in Excel works fine. I really would prefer to use Adobe though. This leads me to believe that maybe it's just a setting or something in Adobe reader. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Creation of PDF from Excel 2013 - problem with black color

Hi,
I am a publisher of crossword magazine and I use Excel to write crosswords. Then I create PDF's and import them into InDesign.
In past I used Adobe printer and it works fine with Excel 2000 and 2010 (only these two versions I used in past) Now I switched to Excel 2013 and when I use Adobe printer to print crosswords into PDF problem occurs with lines done in Excel (insert - shapes - line). I use black color for these lines but in PDF they appears as rich black (TIC 300%). Why it is not 100% black? I know that Excel works in RGB but in past I was always able to change settings in printer profiles (Adobe printer) to reach 100 % black without CMY colors. Now I have no idea. I attached picture of pdf how it looks in Adobe Acrobat in Outpur preview.
Thank you in advance for any advice

These are tough issues I suspect and the answer you need is probably trivial (it is finding it). I will make some suggestions, but I have no idea if any will work.
- In the printer under the Properties>Layout>Advanced>print quality, I use 300 dpi (default is 1200).
- Under the printer preferences>settings>edit the settings file, I use again 300 dpi (default is 1200 dpi).
These may not fix your issue, but migth be worth a try. You could also try using the preflight script to change to gray-scale. It may not make any changes, but again may be worth a try.
All I am trying to suggest are the things I would be looking at. Maybe they will lead you someplace. Others may be by with better suggestions in time.

PDF Maker not shown in excel 2013 ribbon

I have got Windows 7 64-bit. I have excel 2013 installed on it. I have recently installed every version of adobe acrobat reader but when i open excel I cant see the PDF Maker add-in in the ribbon.
I have checked it in COM-Add ins list and it is being marked checked. But its not showing up. I have currently installed version 11 of adobe acrobat XI Pro. But issue remains same.
I have searched on google.com a lot but did not find anything.
Can anyone help?
What should I install to get the PDF Maker in the ribbon? Any fixes?

You have to do the updates to AA XI before the ribbon comes up in OFFICE. OFFICE 2013 came out after AA XI and the updates addressed the fixes.

Converting excel 2013 to pdf with adobe acrobat 9

I have tried and failed many times to convert an excel 2013 spreadsheet into a pdf with adobe acrobat 9.
Is this a compatibility issue, Acrobat 9 needs upgrade?

If you have Excel 2013, you don't need Acrobat to convert to PDF.
In Excel, click File > Save As PDF

Page size error when creating PDF from Excel 2013

Hello,
I am using Acrobat Pro XI, and am creating a PDF from Excel 2013. I have updated Acrobat to the latest version (11.0.4). I am using the Acrobat CreatePDF add-in inside Excel to convert a spreadsheet to PDF. However, when I create the PDF, the page size doubles from 8.5" x 11" to 17" x 22". I have checked the print settings inside Excel to insure that the content fits onto an 8.5" x 11" page. I also checked the Preferences->Advanced Preferences of the Create PDF add-in and confirmed that the default page size is set to 8.5" x 11". Does anyone know why it is creating the PDF with a 17" x 22" page size? Also, can the page be resized back down to 8.5" x 11" within Acrobat Pro XI?

Hello - this did not happen when I printed the file to the Adobe PDF printer. It correctly sized the sheet as 8.5" x 11". Thanks for the suggestion. Also, it will properly print out to the physical printer.
The main problem is when I am combining several PDFs into one document, I have some sheets sized at 8.5" x 11" and some at 17" x 22", so the document looks strange when viewing it online. I am still not sure why the Create PDF add-in creates a different sized PDF than the Print to PDF function.

Problems with black color creating PDF from Excel 2013

Hi
I want to create PDF from Excel 2013 using Adobe Acrobat distiller. When I do so I have problem with black which is 300 percent black instead of 100K. Problem is only with drawed lines from Excel's symbol menu (text is fine).
I use Acrobat 9 Pro and few days ago switched from Office 2000 to 2013.....and problems started.
Office 2000 and Acrobat 9 Pro worked ok and everything including drawed symbols like lines or squares were 100K black in PDF. Now in the case of Excel 2013 it is not so but when I use export function included in Excel and export file to PDF output is 100K. I am not sure if this kind of export is good for me. I use PDF's as inputs to InDesign. So I would like to have more control when create PDF from excel. But in Excel setup I can choose standard and minimum size and that is all.
I imported Adobe PDF Settings from computer where these settings worked with Excel 2010 but they do not do same job for me in combination with Excel 2013 (I have 300 black).
To explain my workflow:
I am a publisher of crossword magazine and I use Excel to write crosswords. Then I create PDF's and import them into InDesign.
Should I use internal export included in Excel 2013? Are these PDF's ok for working in InDesign and finally for print purposes?
Or If you have any suggestion how to create PDF via Adobe Acrobat distiller setup (which I prefer) please give me advice.
Thank you in advance

Excel 2013 hyperlinks will not transfer when converting to pdf

Hyperlinks in Excel file do not transfer when I convert to pdf. I am using Excel 2013 with Acrobat XI Pro.

While Crystal exports to pdf indeed lose hyperlink functionality (both in Crystal as well as in Visual CUT), Visual CUT allows you to use Crystal formulas (acting as hidden Tags) to create hyperlinks in the resulting pdf file. Another option supported by Visual CUT it to automatically detect file references in the pdf text and turn them into hyperlinks. Contact MilletSoftware for more detail.

XI Pro, Excel 2013, Win 8.1: Opening a pdf embedeed in Excel starts Acrobat in Maximized Window

I am embedding (Insert/Object/Adobe Acrobat Document) pdf's in an Excel spreadsheet.
I'm using the option to show the pdf as an icon.
That all works fine.
When I double click the icon Acrobat is starting in a maximized Windows window.
It is filling up my entire monitor with Acrobat.
Normally when I start Acrobat it takes the window shape from the last time I closed it.
Is there any way to control the Window size when opening a pdf from inside Excel?
Thanks.

Xi Pro wont convert all sheets of an Excel 2013 to pdf

When using the "combine files in Acrobat" only sheet #1 of the spread sheet is converted. However, this only happens on our machine that has Excel 2013. The same documents are converted flawlessly when the feature is used on a machine that has Excel 2010.

Excel 2013 hangs when previewing xls file made by Reporting Server 2008

Hi all.
I have a unusual error in excel 2013. We have a homepage that delivers statics to our users and there you can choose to export the webpage to a xls file via SQL ReportingServer 2008. The thing is when I open this exported file in Excel and hit the print
button, excel crashes. It seems to crash during the preview of the document. If I make a document by hand that has exactly the same format as the exported document, excel will preview and print it.
I have tried to change default printer and printer drivers but no success. Office 2013 is also up to date.
If I save the document from SRSS and try to print it from another computer with Excel 2013 installed, it crashes Excel.
Any suggestions?

Hi,
Did you use another Excel file to preview or print? Did the Excel crash again?
I recommend we export a different webpage to a XLSX, then we test it again.
I notice that you try to print the document from another compute and also crashed Excel.
Following this, I suppose that there were some underidentified characters in the file.
After that, I suggest we save as the file to PDF to test.

I have tried printing another excelfile without problems. Infact I can make a replica manually of the report and print it without problem. I can't narrow it down to either a RS fault or Excel fault cause the logfiles don't say much. If I export the report
to a PDF it prints fine, but my users will complain about lack of editing :-)
If I save the xls file to xlsx and tries to print it also hangs in print preview.
An interesting thing is when i export the file to PDF/XPS (PDF in this case) it also hangs Excel...
How do I look for underidentified
characters in the file? I don't see anything in the spreadsheet.

How to run Excel 2013 in MDI rather than SDI

Greetings All,
I am interested in knowing how to make all my excel documents open in one window like the Excel 2010 did in Excel 2013. I understand that SDI is the new way of opening documents for the ease of looking at documents with multiple windows, however, there
are those of us who prefer it all in one window.
Please fill me in on how to set that up by default for my Excel.
Thank you.

Windows button + R andtype "Excel /x" to run Excel in another instance.
Cheers,
