Page orientation - Upsidedown?

[jseven]

Hello,

Forgive the long message but I am hoping for an elegant Excel
resolution to a problem.

The Goal:
-------------
Print from Excel 8 worksheets on 1 piece of paper with the bottom 4
pages printed upside down. That's all I'm really doing with all the
steps below.

The Background:
------------------------
I have come to love a little thing called the "PocketMOD" which
basically takes PDF files, combines them, flips their order and
orientation, allowing you to print out a 1 page document that you fold
up in a nifty way that allows you to keep a ton of information at your
fingertips at all times.

PocketMOD.com has a web interface that works great, but if you want
custom data, which I do, you have to use their "PDFtoPocketmod"
conversion tool to take your 8 page PDF and convert it to the 1 pager
I described earlier.

The Problem:
-------------------
I have used online file conversion tools (PDFOnline.com, zamzu.com
etc.) to convert my Excel docs to PDF to use in their conversion tool
for over a year. But we have a new policy that forbids the upload of
data to sites such as these in place now and I need to find a new way.

We have the tool PDFCreator installed so I can print to PDF, but
something about the way PDFCreator's files are constructed causes the
"PDFtoPocketmod" tool to crash. This doesn't happen with the PDF
files created via PDFOnline.com.

There is no real support being provided and any search I find for a
resolution has proven fruitless.

Additional Info that may help:
------------------------------------------
Everything I would produce would come from Excel
I am a fairly advanced user of Excel and VBA (Not as great as many of
you!)
I am running Excel 2000 on a network
I have to worry about policy issues with using online conversion tools
etc.

Thank you for your help!!!
J

Have you tried some of the other PDF converters out there? Cute PDF seems to
work very well for a lot of users. There are other PDF converters that you
will have to pay for but they will let you use a trial version that will let
you test it to see if your other software will work with it.

Good Luck

As I mentioned, I would like to find some way in excel to tweak the
page orientation versus trying to find yet another conversion tool.
