How can you save an Excel file to PDF?

Hello list,

My VI to save an Excel file in PDF format is attached.

If I run the VI, it saves a PDF file (probably because I'm recording with the PDF extension).

When I try to open the file in Acrobat, I get the error that it is an unsupported file type.

I use "17" as "File Format" (I found online and it is supposed to work for Word, so I thought it would work in Excel).

If I change the format of 'file' '56', I can open the saved file back into Excel and then save it in PDF format using the menu drop down and it opens correctly in Acrobat, so I think that "17" is not correct.

What no one knows the correct value for 'File Format', or I'm doing something wrong.

Thank you

Mike

    It is an old bug of 15 year that Adobe refuses to fix up the place the blame on Apple and Ms. Its been priven over and over again this is not with Apple or Mac they just do not want to fix it or don't know how. Until Adobe goes belly up (if they ever in the future) they won't fix this bug.

    With windows XP, I could save my emails to my word files.  I use MSN as my source of e-mail.  Windows 7 doesn't have a "SAVE AS" function.  I was facing and paste but that takes a lot of time compared to a touch of "SAVE AS".

    Mixture of Photoshop mobile app. How can you save an edited photo in the same file as the original?

    Hey there Mopi2!

    Currently, there is no way to save your new image instead of the original image. For now, you need to manually delete the original. It is however a great request! Please share with the team by typing "give us feedback" in the app menu (tap on the app icon in the upper left corner of the screen while inside the app).

    Let me know if that helps!

    If your MacBook will start in target disk Mode, follow the instructions on how to set up and use...

    But you do not want to share files, just to save them. You can make a "clone", using disk utility. For cloning utility purposes use a program likeSuperDuper! or double clone.

  • How can you save session hearing on a different hard disk, sent via dynamic links to first?

    I am a Mac user. I train to a PC user to edit my audio.

    After the edict of sequences in CEP I send it via dynamic links to hearing make the audio changes then new return to CEP.

    How can I save the project/session of my Mac on a drive external hard shared for the PC user edit in Audition?

    I tried to send the CEP project via dynamic link to hearing, then opening audio files in Audition, then with the video showing in hearing - file > export > Session > checked "save copies of associated files" & chose the external hard drive that we share. No dice. External transfer to the computer and open the hearing session he has no related video and audio files that I had opened are not there. Essentially, this is an empty session.

    Help!

    Hi... basically dynamic link is not what you want if you want to send it to someone else for sound editing, as I can tell. I think the best option for you would be to select 'Export DV Preview Video' rather than 'Send by Dynamic Link' (under 'Edit in Audition'), which I think should export a video resolution low - ish, and the audio files and XML for hearing.

    Hope it is helpful
