Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) Processor: Intel Hi Guys

I have an Excel query that is baffling me. I have a workbook with 46 sheets. When I go to PDF them, I choose "Entire Workbook", preview shows 46 pages so I select my folder and let it do the work.

No matter what happens it will only do 38 individual PDF's, and every time.

I have tried selecting a different printer, deleting a sheet that wont PDF and recreating it, renaming a sheet that wont PDF, PDF a selection and nothing seems to work.... other than PDF'ing the missing sheets manually. But that is not a solution

I am using the latest version 12.2.3 and everything else I do works fine, never any crashes or glitches.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks
Tom

I don't recall ever having heard of anything like this, but outputting the
content of 48 worksheets is rather unusual :-) You do mean 'sheets' and not
'pages', right?

Is it always the same sheets that aren't included or does it vary each time
you try? Are they the last 8 that are missing? The first 8? Every other
sheet omitted?

Have you tried using File>Save As - PDF (form the Format: dropdown)?

Apologies, yes sheets.

It was always the same 8 and they were randomly placed. However the File - Save As method worked perfectly, thank you so much.

Still, quite strange why the print pdf method fails but Im happy it is resolved

The 2 methods employ different generator engines - the one is supplied by
Apple, the other is supplied by Microsoft. Even though they are both
licensed from Adobe the are somewhat different.
