PDFCreator and Excel Total # of Pages
I am using PDFCreator 0.9.5 and have run into a strange issue. I have an Excel file that has multiple sheets/tabs. I have successfully used previous versions of PDFCreator with Excel to print multiple sheets to a PDF file.
Many of my Excel files have a footer in them of the format Page # of
However I just realized that it looks like with version .9.5 when I print, the option varies from one sheet to another what that total number of page is.
So in he output it may say 16 total pages, then 17 total pages, then 26 total pages, backt to 16 etc. On another document the total pages jumps from 9, 12, 14, back to 9.
If I print to a standard printer my total number of pages is consistent and correct.
Any thoughts? Any chance for a new version with a potential fix? I am assuming this a problem with PDFCreator and not Ghostscript.
I really love PDFCreator and have used it for a while but am stumped on this problem.
Any other new features or functions coming out soon on a new version?
thanks for everyone's time and hard work on PDFCreator.

Hi Alan
I just had the same issue - well similar anyway. I'm new to PDFCreator. We set up a PDFCreator server (shared printer on a server, with autosave enabled, that dumps PDFs to c:\PDFs\%username%.)
I had a user complaining that her multiple worksheet Excel 2003 doc kept creating PDF's with a random amount of pages. For us, the fix was to look at the Page Setup properties of each worksheet in the workbook, and verify that the quality settings were identical (600dpi). If the quality settings are different, it will split the PDF into multiple PDF's, because Excel sends multiple jobs to the PDFCreator printer instead of one job.
Hope that helps?
