There is another way around this but it requires you to have a full version
of Acrobat. If you do, then in Excel choose print... and when you get the
print dialog choose "print to file". this will generate what is called an
EPS file. Open Acrobat and use the Distiller application to build the PDF.
Also if you do a Google search for PDF generators you may be able to find
some shareware that will distill the file.
