TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I just created a PDF with an Excel file, with Acrobat 7.0 Professional
and it seems to work just fine.
I initially tried using the Convert to PDF button that Acrobat 7
installed and had problems.
Then I just printed (File -> Print) the file with the Adobe PDF print
driver and, after turning off "Do not send fonts to Adobe PDF", it
worked okay. I also had to clear the Print titles, in Page Setup dialog,
because the originator of the file had a value set.

Yes, I tried direct conversion from Excel to Acrobat 7 pro, but what I
got was a page that scrolled horizontally for days-hyperbole I know, but
some truth as well. My boss wouldn't find that result acceptable. There
must be a "fit to page" check box or setting in the conversion settings,
but I can't find it.
