Saving .dft files in pdf format with excel links in it?
Saving .dft files in pdf format with excel links in it?
(OP)
I have an automated Bill of material which I have linked to my dft file. Its like a master automated file which changes with change in parameter. I wish to save the output in pdf format, so that I can save all these cases.
The problem I'm coming across is, when I print the .dft document, it prints the BOM, but when I try printing it in pdf format, it just replaces the sheet in a big black spot!
I have been trying hard since 15 days to fix it, but ti doesn't work. Can you guys throw in some suggestions?
Thanks,
Housila

I tried that. It asks for a file name, when i click save and try to open the file, Adobe PDF doesn't recognize it. I tried saving as filename and filename.pdf as well, but no success.

Like i mentioned, dl cutepdf, there's no way that shouldn't work.
