Dear Tom Stangler

I have used Adobe Acrobat Distiller for printing MS text files, MS PPT files for conversion into PDF.

Excel files cannot be converted, as it looses its Cell Properties, no matter which convertor you use.

However, MS Excel files can be safely embedded in Adobe PDF format using Adobe Acrobat attachment tool, wherein you can edit it, and save also.

Adobe Distiller has options for ebook, print, screen functions. It hence requires to be edited for appropriate conversions.

Since these adjustments are rather cumbersome, I exclusively use
'Cute PDF writer 2.6' Freeware which comes along with Ghostscript convertor, does excellent job of easy convertions without any errors at all. It is very user friendly. Printing any number of pages for conversion int PDF is no problem at all.

Dinkar
