I think your 2 requirements are mutually exclusive. You usually get what you
pay for. IMO, the best PDF writer is Adobe Acrobat (full version, not Reader),
but it isn't cheap.

Does anybody have any recommendations for a good PDF writer for Excel? It's
important to me that the writer do a faithful job of rendering detailed
Excel formatting (cell borders, backgrounds, fonts, charts, etc) as well as
objects sitting on the worksheet (e.g., combo-boxes, command buttons,
images, etc). Would like to be able to search the resulting PDF file.

Being inexpensive would be good too.
