Trouble with Multiple Pdfs with one workbook

[icsdata]

Hello,

I am having trouble when I print an Excel workbook. There are a total of 9 worksheets in the workbook with 90 "printable" pages. When I attempt to print using DoPDF, instead of printing a pdf with 90 pages, it attempts to split up the workbook into 6 different pdfs. This does not seem to correspond with the amount of worksheets or pages being printed. I think that this has something to do with the headers in the workbook, since when I create a new workbook in excel and attempt to recreate the problem, I cannot and one pdf is made with the merged multiple worksheets. I don't know if this is a problem with DoPDF since I have alternative pdf printers and all do the same thing. Is there any hope to fix this issue?
Thanks in advance!

Hi, actually this is an issue with the way Excel sends the pages for printing. Please see this article: Printing an entire Excel workbook to a single PDF file

It's applicable to doPDF too.

I wanted to add to the article as I followed it and it didn't really work.
I wanted to print a workbook with 4 sheets all in one PDF. The first sheet was in Portrait format and the last 3 landscape. This is what I have done and it works:
1. Set Print Area for each sheet

2. Set Page Set up options for each sheet individually (in particular in this case orientation [portrait / landscape] and Fit to 1 page by 1 page [in my case]

3. Follow the direction in the article linked to above and select Page Set up for all worksheets

4. Set the Paper Size and Print Quality for all sheets
The problem I was having is that one sheet had a print quality of 300 dpi while the others had 600 dpi. This was generating 2 different PDFs that would overwrite each other. The above solved my problem and resulted in 1 PDF with different page orientations.
