Excel Print Preview not matching the actual printed document
- Nov 28, 2019
I played only with PDF files, if you uncheck this setting
it works correctly. Attached are two PDF:s, with and without scale setting.
Sure. I can't promise we will find something, but at least will try.
Hey, I've attached an excel spreadsheet example of what I was talking about, as well as 2 PDFs to explain further.
The "Print to PDF" document shows the correct layout
The "Save as PDF" document shows how it comes out of the printer - which is a complete mess (for me)
I'd appreciate any insight you can give.

You are welcome. 4-years old post and the answer still works.
Excel is infinite as universe, school never could cover all topics. No one pro, includes MVP:s and Microsoft Excel team, knows everything about Excel. Sure they know more than average user, but the main profit they could ask each other directly.
