print preview is grey'd out...
 

**Excel 2000 & Adobe Acrobat 5.0**

I did a conversion to a pdf, and now:

- the text is grey'd out in print preview
- the margins are significantly larger both in Excel and the Adobe versions
(this reuslting in entirely too much "white space")
- cannot view the edge of page dashed-line indicators when returning to
normal view from print preview

is all this the result of the conversion? or did I do something else that
would cause these things to occur?

and... how can I fix this to make my text spread farther across the page?
