Excel to PDF Requires Save

Jun 12, 2012 10:15 AM

Categories: Windows Tags: #excel

We have MS Excel applications that load up data and create charts automaticly.  We want to create PDF's of the charts without saving the spreadsheet as the application is read only.  Acrobat ribbon, Create PDF button requires the spreadsheet to be saved.  Why is this?  We end up using the Adobe print driver instead but would preferr to create PDF's direcly from the ribbon but cannot get around the requirement to save the spreadsheet.

    Unfortunately it's a quirk of the way Office handles documents - when a plugin is registered to handle non-native exports, it will only work if the document has been saved once.
