Excel to PDF, height changes

When converting Excel files to PDF, the row heights shrink, leaving 2" of blank space at the bottom of each page. We need to keep the original spacing in Excel, since that works when we print to a fax service. How can we keep the original page length when converting to PDF?

Hi ellisequipment,

Try setting the Adobe PDF printer as the default printer prior to creating the PDF.
If you're using a custom page size, you'll need to add this to the Adobe PDF printer properties. Here is the URL to a technical note that provides details on the best method to create PDFs from Excel and can help you to setup the custom page size:
