SOLVED MY ISSUE!

Hi, I was having the same issue as O_Connor_Electric. Save as Adobe PDF was causing certain images to disapper from the saved PDF. I found what was causing the issue on my document so I thought I'd share.

 

My file had rogue blank Shapes and Text boxes that were causing the issue, once removed the Save as Adobe PDF worked fine. To find them I clicked on a picture, select Picture Format > Selection Pane. In my screenshot you can see the offending blank items. Deleting these fixed it. I had no idea they were there, so I assume they were accidentally created or pasted in. Hope this helps someone else!

When saving excel file using "Save as Adobe PDF" feature in Microsoft Excel (or any Office software), after conversion, images in the PDF are not there. This is happening in Office 2019 (O365) but I have tested on Office 2016 (O365) and it works fine!?!?

Print to PDF works fine!

Save As then saving as PDF works!

Just not the "Save as Adobe PDF"!?!?

 

This is happening on all versions of Adobe that we have (Acrobat Standard 2015 and 2017)

 

Included are images of Office versions and Adobe versions

 

 

Please advise thanks

Same issue with Excel for Office 365. I have confirmed that the 1911 update from 12-3-19 broke this, but have not been able to find a fix yet. (Works on all machines with build 1910, not on 1911. Upgraded a 1910 machine to 1911 and the feature broke.) No errors, just images do not render.  Using the Adobe PDF printer option from the print dialog renders no images and scrambled letters as well.

BrentM, what is your Acrobat version? I observe that O_Connor is using Acrobat 2015, which is pretty old now - not sure if it still gets fixes for Office issues. Hopefully, though, it's going to be fixed by Microsoft. Odd that Save as Adobe PDF doesn't work, but Save as followed by Save as Adobe PDF does work...
