Excel saving to PDF - Margins

Hi,

 

I am having issues when trying to save my excel to pdf (the excelcontains a lot of text).

 

When I open the pdf and review it compared to the excel sheet, it seems the margins have changed, forcing some text to go on to another row and therefore being cut off in the pdf.

 

Can someone list all of the places I will need to go please

    I got an answer from public domain, and it works for me. So I copy it here:

    File > Options > Advanced > General (section) > and unticking Scale content for A4.

    In advance, please update the Acrobat Reader,

    if possible Office and Windows at the same time to be on the safe side.

     

    method:
    PDF file opens,and then go to print

    then there is the setting "adjust the page size" in the lower middle left.
    The default setting for me was "Reduce to print area", which caused the problem in question.
    The setting "none" solves the problem and everything is as in Word.

     

    I would be happy to know if I could help.

        Please replace the word, Word with Excel, and it will be the same.

        Did you go through the steps and try it out?
