Hi and thank you for your time to read about this problem!
I have a workbook in Excel 2003 that has multiple worksheets that I am Itrying to convert to PDF for distribution. One worksheet in the workbook is set to 11x17 Landscape--all the other worksheets are Letter size and portrait. All pages have the same margin settings. I am running Acrobat 8 Professional.
I have tried Excel's Send to Recipient as PDF, as well as the "Convert to PDF" option on the PDF menu in Excel. In both cases the PDF file is converted perfectly when viewed on screen. All page sizes and page orientations are correct when viewed on-screen.
The problem occurs when the PDF file is printed. No matter what the file looks like on screen the first page that prints out is landscape instead of portrait. All of the following pages print fine. Even if I skip page 1 and print pages 2-7, the first page out of the printer has the wrong page orientation.
If we ran into this problem consistently across our PDF files I would say it's a printer issue, but I haven't seen this behavior before. I make PDF's from pretty much all of the Microsoft and Adobe products and this is the first time I've ever seen this happen.
Any ideas?
Thank you!
