Print to PDF in Excel - Need to delete a column to make it work

Question

Hi all.

I have an issue that when I try to print to Adobe PDF in Excel it will ask for filename, and look like it is doing its thing but no file gets created. If I go back to the excel file, delete a whole column and then do the print to Adobe PDf again, magically it works!

This happens in all my spreadsheets.

I have tried the Adobe repair installation option but no change.

Its quite annoying as I do a lot of printing to PDF. Any thoughts on what could be causing this?

Regards

David

What are your systems specs? OS? version of Acrobat, etc.

I assume you are printing to the Adobe PDF Converter driver?

Is there a reason why you want to PRINT the file rather than simply Save As the file (from Excel's built in format list), or Save As Adobe PDF (Adobe Plugin).

In any case, on my Win 10 machine with current Acrobat version, the file saves and prints fine here.

If you are indeed printing to the Acrobat PDF Converter, what are your settings re: Printing Preferences?
