Excel is installed on my machine & the file is local. But its based on a 365 subscription so it should be pretty recent version. Version 2406 Build 16.0.17726.20206 (64 bit).

I'm on the fence of adding into my print macro to scale the PDF to keep the print boundaries the same. Its not a great solution but its not working to only be able to PDF from a given location either.
