I have recently upgraded from NT to XP at work and seem to have lost of issues converting excel files to PDF. I am using Ecel 2002, and Acrobat 6.0 Standard. It seems more of a problem on docs with lost of colour or format?
I am an absolute beginner, so apologies if this is covered somewhere

Hi --

You don't specify what sorts of problems you are having with the conversion, so it is difficult to define what the cause might be. When you try to convert a spreadsheet having color or formatting, what happens in the resulting PDF? Do any of your files convert properly?

Sorry! The file fails to convert at all. It freezes and then generates an error report. I then cannot use Acrobat until I reboot. I constantly get the 'creating' Icon on my taskbar too until I reboot. Some of my files seem to convert ok, it seems mainly to be those with a lot of colour or graphics
