When I try to save 2 excel sheets (in 1 workbook) into 1 pdf file it saves them individually. Of course my fellow PC user can save the 2 sheets into 1 pdf file (multiple pages) but I cannot seem to figure it out for a MAC. Is it just not an option?
Thank you!!
Generate the multiple PDFs then open"page 1" in Apples Preview app and
display the Drawer (now called a Sidebar). Bring a Finder window up,
navigate to where the other "pages" are stored & drag them into the Drawer
(you can select & drag more than one at a time). Rearrange if necessary &
SAVE as a single PDF. If you happen to have Acrobat you can combine the PDFs
there as well as with a number of PDF "stitcher" utilities available on the
web � most of which are freeware/shareware.

I contacted Adobe and they said that the problem is with the WAY EXCEL SENDS THE WORKSHEETS TO ADOBE ACROBAT. This means that technically the problem is with the way Excel has been designed. i confirmed this for myself when i created another workbook in IWorks' Numbers and it printed the whole worksheet as one pdf file without any problem.
The workaround you've prescribed is TOO LONG A PROCESS WHEN I CAN JUST DO ONE CLICK IN OTHER PRODUCTS AND GET THE RESULT THAT I WANT.
I (AND I'M SURE MANY EXCEL FOR MAC USERS) WILL REALLY APPRECIATE THIS PROBLEM BEING FIXED INSTEAD OF BEING TOLD TO DO A TEN CLICK AND PROCESSES WORKAROUND.
THANK YOU,
It might also be interesting to know what Adobe has to say about why the
Acrobat 9 PDF driver *can* avoid multiple PDFs from a single file but the
utility they're offering Apple & MS for use on Macs just doesn't seem to
have the same capabilities... You do realize that virtually *all* PDF
generators are licensed from Adobe, right?

Did you imagine Microsoft or Adobe were reading here? Sorry to burst your
bubble, but there's no-one here but us fellow users.
Some of us have ideas about things we would like the Microsoft Corporation
to do, also. But we don't work there, and we have no say in the matter.
We come in here trying to offer fellow users a way to use the software the
way Microsoft made it. Nobody pays us for this: we are just trying to help
people because it makes us feel good.
At least, it makes us feel good except when ungrateful types shout at us...

Select an item in the Sidebar, then Command+A to Select All
Use File> Print Selected Pages
Hit the PDF button in the Print dialog & select Save As PDF (or whatever) &
go from there.
