When yoz have Acrobat pro installed, you can directly save as Adobe PDF from any MS Office application.

What does this have to do with InDesign and why don't you just save as PDF from Excel?

Accidentally posted to the InDesign section. Must've clicked the wrong link. I would delete my discussion if I knew how.

I do save as PDF myself however my coworker who is having this issue is stubborn and doesn't like to change how he does things.

Well, I don't know what to tell you about that.

 

Good luck. I'm going to lock this discussion.
