I've tried a multitude of different PDF creators and I thought Acrobat would solve my problem, unfortunately it did not and I am now here.

I have been attempting to creat a PDF file from an excel workbook that contains several charts and graphs as well as simple data tables. The PDF files will be created just fine, it just that it will create 2 or 3 of them from just one file. The Excel file is under 1MB and it keeps breaking up at the exact same place in the workbook everytime.

Hi

Are you trying to fit the entire workbook onto one page, or is it splitting your Excel file into multiple documents or pages? If you are after fitting the whole worksheet into one PDF page then you will need to go to the page setup and choose "fit to" options and then print to the PDF writer. Derren

Or you could try printing the page to a different page size!!! If you can't fix it in 20 call someone who can.
 
Each worksheet within the excel workbook is meant to a single PDF page and that's working fine. What happens is that it will save, for example, pages 1-5 as one PDF file, 6-12 as a second PDF file and 13-21 as a third PDF file. No matter if I select print entire workbook or just select certain sheets it always breaks it up at the same place. Help Me Obi Wan Kenobi, You're My Only Hope.
 
In the face of what appears to be huge adversity why don't you give up and simply merge all three of your PDF files into one?

Open up file one in Acrobat, select "document>insert pages" find file two and insert it after the last page of file one. Do the same to insert file three.

It may not be the method that you are after, but it sure will work! Derren

then merge them maybe the best way RocSky SPlitPDF:Split one multipage Pdf document into one page PDF Documents

Or even view all three documents via Window->Tile->Vertically, select the thumbnail tab from the navigation pane for all three, and drag and drop the thumbnails of the pages you want from doc2 and doc3 onto the thumbnails of doc1. If it is going to be a repetitive task then I would go for a utility like RocSky's. Ahhhhh, I see you have a machine that goes Bing!
 
Why not just
Document > Insert Pages
Then just select the PDFs that you wish to insert.
