Is your Excel file on a location outside your machine's disk? If so, try copying to local disk.
Does the Excel file have any protection applied to it? If so, try removing the protection
If these don't work, can you post a sample file that demonstrates the problem.

  • Problem Creating PDF Files from Excel 2007

    I am running WinXP SP2, Office 2007, and Acrobat v8.1.2. I have an Excel workbook with multiple worksheets. When I was using Excel 2003 I could create a PDF file using five of the six worksheets. Since upgrading to Office 2007 I am unable to create PDF files from Excel. I can create PDF files from Word 2007. When I attempt to use the Acrobat Plug-in to create a PDF I get a message saying the file needs to be saved first. It then attempts to save the file to a strange, somewhat random, file name (e.g. A234G53). When I say OK Excel just hangs and is unresponsive. The way that I can clear it is to stop Excel using Task Manager. I have tried reinstalling Acrobat without successfully solving the problem. Any ideas on how I can diagnose and/or solve the problem?
    Thanks.

  • Flatten a PDF file from Excel

    Flatten a PDF file from Excel
    Is there any way to run a javascript to flatten a PDF document from Excel?
    I’m populating a PDF form from Excel by creating a FDF file, once I finish I need to flatten it.
    Is there any way to accomplish this without having Adobe Acrobat?
    Thank you,
    Luis Gonzalez

    Reader cannot flatten a document, if that's what you're asking. A user with Acrobat installed can, in which case you can use VBA to control Acrobat. For exampe: http://www.khk.net/wordpress/2009/03/04/adobe-acrobat-and-vba-an-introduction/

  • Using Acrobat X and creating a PDF File from EXCEL 2010, I notice that the Pagination restarts at 1 for each Worksheet included in the PDF.

    I use Acrobat X Standard and created a PDF file from two or more worksheets using EXCEL 2010.
    The resulting PDF file restarts the PAGE # (In header/footer settings of Excel) at 1 for each worksheet.
    However, a colleague of mine who has Acrobat X Pro version, using EXCEL 2010 and same exact file does the same task, he gets a file that starts at page 1 and second worksheet continues the page # from the last page of the First worksheet.
    We both are using the ACROBAT menu (not the print to Adobe printer) to create the file so that we can get Bookmarks included in the resulting file for each worksheet.
    We cannot figure out any option in Acrobat's preferences that controls the pagination on either of these versions of Acrobat.
    So is this just a feature that works one way in Standard version and another way in the Pro version, and the user has no control over it?

    This is so sad. I read your comments and I said, "Huh?" Haha!
    I tried the indexed color option and it did make the final file smaller. Around 600KB. But there's probably another way to make it even smaller like the gazillion-paged pdf file that I mentioned that was only about 300KB.
    And by saying a layout program, does that mean like Adobe InDesign? Does that mean that I should just make my graphics in Photoshop and then import using another program and finish the file there?
    What other layout programs can I use?
    Thank you so much!

  • Starting PDF file from Excel 2003 via a hyperlink

    After updating to Reader X I can't open a hyperlink to PDF-files any more which are listed in an Excel-sheet. With Reader 9 it worked all-time. No I get the answer from the Reader, that the document can't be opened.
    What to do?

    Try shutting down all running instances of the Reader process and then clicking on the link to the PDF in Excel. It works for me then.

  • VB code to auto generate a PDF file from Excel

    Does any know the VBA code to create a PDF from an Excel file with the file name automatically taken from a cell value so that there's no prompt using a dialog box for the filename? I'm using Adobe 8.0 and Excel 2003.
    Using Google, I've seen some links that reference the following, but it looks like this is for creating a PS file.
    Application.ActivePrinter = Range("AcrobatPrinter")
    ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintOut , prTofilename:=Range("FileName")
    AcrobatPrinter is a range that references a cell with a value of "Adobe PDF on Ne02:" and Filename is a range the references a cell with the file name in UNC.

    See the Distiller API document, in the Acrobat SDK. Specifically, look
    for the information on how to stop the prompt for filename in the
    Adobe PDF printer.

  • Creating pdf files from excel workbook

    I'm trying to convert an excel file to pdf. It contains 10 sheets and when viewing the entire workbook the total number of pages should be 15 pages. If I send it to print in adobe pdf. It starts creating different files for different sheets sometimes it puts together 3 or more sheets but sometimes it creates one file for one sheet. For this particular document ir creates 8 files. Later on if I put the 8 files together the pagination is correct. Can this be done in one step? Maybe I'm not aware of a file break feature. If I try to use the pdf maker it tells me that it can't create tags because there is a set print area or because I'm using print titles so I have to create the pdf by selecting print and select pdf as printer to be able to create it. Is there an easier way to create one file with the 15 pages at once?

    I was having the same problem.  I saw this and when I attempt to open that forum, it doesn't take me to that page.  It takes me to the generic forums page (http://forums.adobe.com/index.jspa).  I'd love to solve this problem as it drives me nuts.
    Can anyone provide either an updated link or the instructions themselves?
    Thanks!

  • Unable to create PDF files from Excel 2010 x64

    I am currently having problems with the Excel PDF plugin that comes with Acrobat XI Pro 11.0.7.  Whenever I try to click on "Create PDF" or "Preferences" (or any of the buttons for that matter), I get the following error dialogue:
    The Acrobat plugin for Word functions perfectly, only Excel gives me problems.  I've already tried repairing Office & Acrobat as well as doing a complete uninstall/reinstall.  Has anyone come across this issue before?  It should also be noted that the account I am using has full administrator privileges.

    Firefox Support - I even create a Firefox account just to agree with [email protected] I appreciate the word "Thank you for being awesome!" when I registered the account and I certainly do hope you all guys being awesome to. Please do something with all this Firefox update - add-on plugin no longer support thingy. Firefox still awesome, it's just that I can't do much wit it anymore like I used to do. Ohh yayy theres Safari..

    Looks like this particular file is not transferring to the SAP work directory.
    Could you please check and suggest us as to how to fix it.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Srivas

    Hi,
    Thanks for your reply.
    We verified  your OSS notes it's not relevant to us Because our issue is while opening the PDF aatchement it is not transferring to my SAP Work Directory because of that reason we are getting the KPRO error. When I'm opening the other PDF files it's transferring to my SAP Work Directory and it's automatically open without any issue.
    Please check and suggest.
    Thanks,

  • How to embed and open PDF files within excel

    I constantly need to embed PDF files onto Excel documents as well as extract/open/view PDF files from Excel documents. I am unable to do so with a macbook, i know that there is a workaround but it's such a tedious process. Is there a software i can buy or setting that i can do so that i can embed and open PDF files easily as i need to view these files multiple times a day for work.
    please advise

    Download and install Adobe Reader: Adobe Reader Install for all versions
    Open the PDF file using it. If security restrictions don't prevent it you could also print it.

    Hi,
    How to search specific text/string in pdf files from command prompt?
    Will be great if you can refer to any adobe provided command base utility to achieve the above target.
    Best Regards,

    You can't. The commandline parameters for Acrobat and Adobe Reader do not allow any type of commands to be run.

  • How to edit or add text to a PDF file from an e mail

    I would like to open a PDF file from an e mail received to work the file to edit and or add text, my e mail service is  LIVE.CA  (hot mail), I have Iwork 09 

    You can convert the PDF text to regular text (.txt) and then import/open into another program and make your changes, then save the file in the programs format (for your later editing) and then choose Print from the program and there may/may not be a option to save as PDF again.
    You'll need a free (limited use) PDF to text utility like
    PDF OCR
    http://solutions.weblite.ca/pdfocrx/
    Trouble here of course is you lose all the formatting and have to reformat, but it's a lot less expensive than Adobe's software.
    LibreOffice is free to use and can save as PDF format if iWork doesn't save as PDF, it should unless Apple is really peeved at Adobe.
