Saving Excel file as PDF

[Ntisch]

Hi - I have a formatting question.

I use Mac OSX - Leopard/Excel 2008.

I'm having trouble saving an entire workbook in PDF format.

Currently I select an entire workbook then select 'save as PDF'. What happens next is that the document gets saved in a number of different (multiple) PDF's, but not s single PDF document.

Is there a way to save an Excel file as a single PDF?

I have seen previous discussions on this topic but it appears to still be an unresolved issue.

Thanks in advance

Sorry, but AFAIK there are no PDF generators - especially the basic ones
supplied by the OS & Office - which will create a single PDF from multiple
sheets in a workbook.

Since you're running on Leopard you can open one of the resulting PDFs in
Preview.app, expose the Drawer, then bring a Finder window to the front &
drag each of the other PDFs into the Drawer to assemble a single PDF file.
Alternatively there are a number of freeware/shareware PDF "stitcher" apps
out there if you prefer to use one of them - check VersionTracker.com or
Google for them.

If one has acrobat one can open the first PDF then while open choose go
to Document menu > Insert pages and insert each succeeding PDF after the
last page until you get them all together. Then you can save as a new
file and have the complete new file plus the individual PDF's if needed.
