Page orientation - Upsidedown?
Hello,
Forgive the long message but I am hoping for an elegant Excel resolution to a problem. The Goal: ------------- Print from Excel 8 worksheets on 1 piece of paper with the bottom 4 pages printed upside down. That's all I'm really doing with all the steps below. The Background: ------------------------ I have come to love a little thing called the "PocketMOD" which basically takes PDF files, combines them, flips their order and orientation, allowing you to print out a 1 page document that you fold up in a nifty way that allows you to keep a ton of information at your fingertips at all times. PocketMOD.com has a web interface that works great, but if you want custom data, which I do, you have to use their "PDFtoPocketmod" conversion tool to take your 8 page PDF and convert it to the 1 pager I described earlier. The Problem: ------------------- I have used online file conversion tools (PDFOnline.com, zamzu.com etc.) to convert my Excel docs to PDF to use in their conversion tool for over a year. But we have a new policy that forbids the upload of data to sites such as these in place now and I need to find a new way. We have the tool PDFCreator installed so I can print to PDF, but something about the way PDFCreator's files are constructed causes the "PDFtoPocketmod" tool to crash. This doesn't happen with the PDF files created via PDFOnline.com. There is no real support being provided and any search I find for a resolution has proven fruitless. Additional Info that may help: ------------------------------------------ Everything I would produce would come from Excel I am a fairly advanced user of Excel and VBA (Not as great as many of you!) I am running Excel 2000 on a network I have to worry about policy issues with using online conversion tools etc. Thank you for your help!!! J |

Have you tried some of the other PDF converters out there? Cute PDF seems to
work very well for a lot of users. There are other PDF converters that you will have to pay for but they will let you use a trial version that will let you test it to see if your other software will work with it.
