When I try to convert an Excel spreadsheet to PDF the document result is blank. I have had this issue in the past but it was corrected when I set Adobe as my default printer. This is not working now? Can you assist me?

There can be a huge number of reasons for this.

OK, some things to investigate:
How is your default print area in Excel set?
What is the print ('ink') color of your excel text?
What is the page orientation in Excel? Does it match that of Distiller?
Any page scaling (between Excel and Distiller) that could be interfeering with each other?
Try printing all pages (not worksheets) in Excel, including blanks, to see if you can get anything.

I know, not a very specific answer, but Excel --> PDF is not as cut and dry as Word.Hope one of these sparks a light towards a solution.

Thanks.
