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

Hi O_Connor_Electric,

 

We're sorry for the trouble you had while saving the Excel file using Save as Adobe PDF process.

would it be possible to share a few sample files through which you are able to reproduce the issue so that we can test it at our end?

Please share the files in the private message only. Upload the files on Document Cloud storage, generate the share link, and send it in the private message.

 

Have you tried repairing the Office package from the Control panel? If not, please try once and see if this brings any different in the Save as Adobe PDF workflow.

 

Thanks for your time and patience.

 

Regards,

Anand Sri.
