Excel and Adobe

[gav]

I am trying to create PDF's using microsoft excel doc's and converting them to Adobe acrobat files. I am using excel 2000 and adobe acrobat 6.0.

I simply have a list of part no's each with an associated picture. Around them I have a boarder. However If I set the pictures uniformly in excel, when they are converted into a PDF the pictures dont line up nicely with the boarder and I have to go back and edit the excel sheet and re try. Some of these doc's are quite big and this is taking some time.

Is there a quicker way to do this ?
Has anyone experienced this before ?

Have you tried laying out the pages in Word?
If there is only one picture, and a parts list, it should be fairly easy to settle on a layout that will convert to PDF. Word has a table function which should suffice for the parts list.

Hi David

Thanks for your reply.

I am using excel because I have a large no. of pics each associated with a different part no. description etc. There is only about 5 columns but many entries (rows).

Have you tried printing one of the Excel pages?

Sometimes if it doesn't print the way it appears on screen it won't convert to PDF smoothly either...
