Hi. I'm new here and having a heck of a time creating PDFs from Excel 2011 in Mac OS 10.6. I'm using Acrobat X. Here's the issue:
I have an excel file that contains many many sheets (tabs). When printing (creating) to a PDF I select "Entire Workbook" then OK. This results in numerous PDFs, 1 PDF per sheet, instead of the usual 1 PDF with multiple pages. This works in Windows so I know its possible. I've tried everything I can think of--which doesn't say much.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Merlin. Thanks for the quick reply. Sorry I took so long to get back.
I've tried it both ways. Still not coming out in a single PDF.
Here's what I'm doing:
Mac OS X built-in PDF
1. Print --> Select "Entire Workbook"
2. Lower left, select PDF --> "Save as PDF"
3. Choose desktop as destination --> Click "Save"
Result: 3 PDF Files on desktop; 1 per page
Adobe PDF-Maker
1. Print --> Select "Entire Workbook"
2. Lower left, select PDF --> "Save as Adobe PDF"
3. Get a new, small window "Save as Adobe PDF" --> Adobe PDF Settings, Standard --> After PDF Creation, Launch
Nothing
4. I am prompted with this dialog box for each page in the workbook.
Result: 3 PDF Files on desktop; 1 per page
In Print & Fax System Preferences I do not see an option for Adobe Acrobat. Can this be the issue?Excel 11 version 14.0.2
Acrobat Pro version 10.0.1
Thanks again.

Did you try to convert to PDF from another Excel version?
Or from LibreOffice or OpenOffice?
Or from LibreOffice or OpenOffice?
Are your PDFs created using Adobe PDF-Maker or using Mac OS X built-in PDF-Services ?
