Save as PDF in MS Excel

I am using Excel 2004 for Mac and have a workbook with 3 worksheets. When I try to create 1 pdf from the print dialog, it only outputs the last 2 sheets as 1 pdf, no matter which sheet is in focus.
Does anyone know why or how to fix this?
Thanks

  • How do I save a PDF as an excel file when the PDF is horizontal. Adobe tries to rotate the page, but the data is entered in an  horizontal format.

    How do I save a PDF as an excel file when the PDF is horizontal. Adobe tries to rotate the page, but the data is entered in an  horizontal format.

    Thanks for the quick reply.  I figured out how to get the desired results by using tagging.  For anyone who may reference this post in the future, I went to "Customize" in the top right corner of Adobe, then selected "Create new tool set...", looked under "accessiblity and found the "tag" option.  Hit ok, tag is added to the toolbar.  Then I highlighted the dataset in the PDF that was relevant to the output format, then clicked "tag", saved as spreadsheet.  Sorry I can't provide more details on how tagging works or if there's a more elegant solution available, but I'm sure one's out there.

    Hi,
    In the documentation for the saveAs function it has the following params
    cPath The device-independent path in which to save the file.
    cConvID (optional, Acrobat 6.0) A conversion ID string that specifies the conversion
    file type.
    cFS (optional, Acrobat 7.0) A string that specifies the source file system name.
    bCopy (optional, Acrobat 7.0) A Boolean value which, if true, saves the PDF file
    as a copy. The default is false.
    bPromptToOverwrite (optional, Acrobat 7.0) A Boolean value which, if true, prompts the user if
    the destination file already exists. The default is false.
    In order to get a text file saved you need to specify the correct cConvID.
    See the documentation for the valid convID's - http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/10/Acrobat10_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.519.html
    Please note the Acrobat SDK contains all the information and does not require much installing ( as it is a zip file(on windows) and a disc image (on Mac) it just needs extracted)

  • When I save a PDF as an Excel File, all of the data in the PDF is put into one column (AdobeXI)

    Hi, thanks for taking the time...
    I'm running a machine with Windows 7, Office 2010, and Acrobat XI.  When I save a specific PDF as an Excel workbook, all of the data in the original PDF is sorted correctly in four columns.  When the same task is performed on this file on another user's machine, all of the data is sorted into one column.  The user has the same versions of Windows, Office, and Acrobat.  I've attempted the "Repair installation" option but the problem persists.  Any suggestions?  Thanks again for helping,

  • Can you batch save as pdf's to excel files

    I was wondering if there was a way of batch saving a number of PDF documents to EXCEL files so then we can collate and graph the data from there.

    Hi Chris ,
    I would request you to refer the following document that explains how to batch save files .

  • Save as PDF stopped working since updating

    I am using Photoshop/Lightroom Photography CC, Office 2010 on Windows 7 Home (64bit).
    Since updating to the latest version of Photoshop in the last week or so, saving as a PDF file seems to have stopped working in Word & Excel.
    Could there be a link?
    I'm pretty sure I haven't made any other changes, or Windows updates.
    The response from Excel is "Document not saved" and from Word it's "The export failed due to an unexpected error." No other indication of what the problem might be and nothing in the Event Logs.
    I have tried repairing Office but that hasn't helped.
    Why do these niggles always bite you just when things are at their most stressful!! :-)
    Thanks,
    Roy

    OK - I did a Restore to a point the day before the Photoshop  updates were released. The Restore point told me that only Photoshop and Lightroom would be affected. After the Restore Lightroom was indeed at the earlier version but strangely, Photoshop wasn't.
    However - the "Save to PDF" in Word & Excel were now working.
    I Uninstalled Photoshop, and then reinstalled it and the latest version of Lightroom.
    "Save to PDF" continued to work.
    There are no Windows updates needed - that's all up to date.
    So I have no idea what was causing the problem but at least it's now working and I can get on with things! Something corrupted I guess. But at least it doesn't look like the Photoshop/Lightroom upgrade was anything to do with it!

  • 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.

  • Save as PDF in Excel rewrites file when saving multiple sheets

    Hello,
    I'm having issues saving Excel files to PDF when multiple sheets of a workbook are active. I constantly need to print multiple sheets of a workbook for a service report, but when multiple tabs are highlighted to print/save it will save each sheet as the output file but immediately overwrite the saved file with the next sheet. So if I have four sheets active and go to print/pdf/save to pdf I will briefly see a "processing page" message box for each sheet but in the end I will only have one pdf file of the last active sheet. A single sheet will save beautifully but it's kind of a pain to constantly string together the pdf files. I looked through the Excel forum, but it seems they point anything pdf related back to OS X. I'm running XL 12.1.5 and OS X 10.5.6. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    I've been having the same problem... after not finding a solution on this page, I finally found an answer that worked for me. As the Adobe support link below states... change the "Print Quality" to be the same for all sheets, then use the Print dialog box rather than the Save As dialog box. In the Print dialog box, choose the "save as PDF" option" (on the lower left for me). This finally solved my multiple file problem.

  • Excel save as pdf hangs when launched through a watch folder

    Hi there,
    I've configured a watch folder to launch a batch file which launch a .exe file I've written in C++
    In this application I launch Excel which open a .XLS document which contains macros.
    At the end of the computations there is a macro which save as pdf.
    At this point everything hangs and I have to cancel the job I've created for the watch folder.
    If I disable the watch folder and I place the starting file inside the watch folder
    and I manually launch the .bat file (which usually is launched by the watch folder) everything works perfectly.
    I really really hope there will be someone here coming with a solution for me.
    By the way on the windows forum I've got a very disappointing answer where they stated it was probably a fault of my application.
    Well fortunately that was not the problem because
    I can reproduce the problem even removing my application from the equation so now we have cleared
    the issue is not casued by my application.
    So if you want to try it yourself just follow the steps below:
    1) create an excel document so that after you open it it automatically run a save as pdf operation and close excel. (let's call this document "PRINT_TEST.xls")
    2) create a batch file named "Excel_launcher.bat" and write the command
    ""C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 15\root\office15\EXCEL.EXE" "C:\teststampapdf\PRINT_TEST.xls""
    3) Now create a watch folder job that execute that batch file.
    something like "C:\watchfolderX\Excel_launcher.bat"
    4) now create a watch folder that uses that job and for file filter use "*.txt" enable it and start it
    5) now launch manually the batch file and you'll see that it print the pdf and closes itself
    6) drop a txt file inside the watch folder you've created and you'll see it hangs at the save as pdf operation.
    This is something that have to be fixed and it's due to excel.
    I can launch and save documents with all the application I want but excel so that's the problem.
    Please take a look and keep me updated I badly need to find a solution for this issue.
    THANK YOU in advance,
    Davide

    Hi Davide,
    This is no the right forum for your issue. I think you can consult this issue on some Excel end-user related forum.

  • Excel Print preview stopped working and when save as pdf, pdf is blank

    mac 10.5.8
    excel home and student 2011
    i was working on 2 documents for our accountant.
    created one in excel, converted to pdf
    created second one in excel, converted to pdf
    there was maybe a 30 minute time lapse between these 2 files...tops
    the first file does in fact have a print preview, and the pdf opens and is viewable.
    HOWEVER, on the second file, there is no print preview, and pdf is blank.
    (although the printer does in fact print the file with all the words and whatnot on it...)
    blank pdf prints blank.
    i tried xlsx, and xls to pdf, and nothing works.
    it seems that all of the files created before this troublesome one can be converted and seen in print preview....even if i add a new sheet to the workbook, that works just fine...can print preview and convert pdf no problems.
    now, when i try to do that with the second file, or any new excel doc, i canNOT convert or print preview....everything is blank.
    one minute it was working, the next it's not.
    it works for some excel files while not working for newer ones.
    nothing was changed in preferences for excel, preview, or the printer, unless i accidentally typed a keyboard command that would allow this to happen.
    i REALLY need to be able to convert excel to pdf!  and i really don't want to have to print them out just to scan them in and save the scans as pdf...not fun.
    i have been researching, or trying to research this here,and it seems that there is a known bug for office 2008, or for a different OS, but none of the work arounds for those issues are helping me here!
    someone, please help me get my save as pdf back!!!!

    Try different page setups and layouts.  Reinstall the Office fonts, or check for new patches from Microsoft.     Check in Microsoft Office forums.   Mind you PDF from preview and print are not as complete as Adobe Acrobat Pro, and are based on open source PDF standards.  I don't know how well the standards were at the time your Office application was written, or if 10.5's PDF standard was up to Office's snuff, or if you updating to the latest available Adobe Acrobat Reader  and Plugin will help, but between Office's and Adobe's forum you may be abl eto find an answer.

  • Unable to "save as pdf" using Excel

    Hi,
    This problem concerns SharePoint 2010
    We have an issue with "save as PDF" option to the library on one particular site, it appears to work but the .PDF file never appears in the library.
    We can save as PDF to the desktop then upload to the library.
    Word will save as PDF to the same library without issue.
    Would very much appreciate any ideas you might have or help you can give,
    Thanks,

    If you are able to save as PDF from Word, but not from Excel, it could be a bug in Excel.
    Have you checked to see if there are any Excel updates/patches that you do NOT have installed?  This kind of thing is usually fixed through a patch.
    I trust that answers your question...
    Thanks

  • Excel crashes every time I try to save to .pdf

    Help!  Every time I attempt to "save as" .pdf in Excel (Office 2011) Excel crashes, saves some sort of empty .pdf file.  Anyone know anything about this?

  • Why do I get garbled data when I save PDF document to Excel 2010?

    Hello,
    I am trying to save a Adobe Acrobat Pro PDF as an Excel spreadsheet.  I was able to do this once without any problems. 
    I tried it today and when I open the spreadsheet it contains garbled data. (example: ?oard' for the word Board)
    Thank you for any help you can offer.

    What is your operating system?  Reader version?
    First, Google Chrome uses its own PDF viewer, not the Adobe Reader plugin.
    When right-clicking/Save Target as: does the same thing happen with this link http://helpx.adobe.com/pdf/adobe_reader_reference.pdf ?
