Acrobat X after latest update Oct 2011

Updated Acrobat X last night and today the pdfmaker addin on Excell 2010 will only create single sheet pdf's & not multiple page pdf's.
 
When I select the multiple sheets as usual and select the new file destination it quickly flashes thru all of the selected sheets but never opens the newly created pdf nor does it create the pdf to the specified file destination.
 
Please help! I recently bought X just 2 months ago to be able to continue creating these multi-page pdfs from excel. (last time I updated Office 2010 the pdfmaker addin would no longer run in Excel)
 
I may never download another Adobe or Microsoft update again...

In the Acrobat ribbon, click Preferences. Do you have these options turned ON:

View Adobe PDF Result
Prompt For Adobe PDF File Name

And this setting is turned OFF:

Fit Worksheet To A Single Page

Not sure about this setting, but check here:

1. Go to Edit> Preferences
2. Click the Convert To PDF category
3. Locate Microsoft Excel in the list
4. Click the Settings button
5. Enable "Convert entire Excel workbook"

Aahhh thank you so much Ms. McCathran! 1st of all for the timely response & just as importantly for providing the information needed!The setting you said to have turned off was on. That remedied the issue but I went ahead and checked your secondary recommendation and enabled "Covert entire workbook".

Thanks again! This addin saves me countless minutes a day :)
