Please help, the net is littered with many people having this problem. to recreate the problem open excell, select a range of cells and select copy, go to word 2007 and select paste special, and selevt as a link, make the file a bitmap. now try to convert to pdf with any pdf creation tool. the cells you pasted are now just a black box. The problem is exclusive to word 2007 and linked objects from other applications. I have been trying to get this to work for days now, and i need help.

Thank you in advance
