About Justin VanAlstyne
Expertise
I have a full working knowledge of Adobe Acrobat 5.0 - 7.01. I have experience in creating interactive PDFs, embedding multimedia, web-based forms, creating presentations using PDF, advanced prepress preparation, PDF web optimization, color management, and using PDF as a soft-proofing tool. I do not have a lot of experience using Acrobat`s advanced Javascripting features, though a lot of custom functionality can be built into a PDF this way.

The real problem is the print resoloution set for each tab. They must be set to the same resolution in order for the adobe drivers to make a single file.

Hi,
had the same problem, it's an excel bug (makes 3 spoolfiles) and only God knows Why.

I have run into this problem.
The excel workbook I was working with had 30 sheets. Under the advance print quality options the first sheet was set to 600dpi, the second was set to 1200dpi, and the additional 28 where all set to 600dpi.
Excel was creating three print jobs (resulting in three PDF documents)

When you had a sheet with a different print quality it must send it to the printer (or pdf printer) as a separate job, since all the pages are sent in order, if there is one page in the middle with a different print quality it will result in three prints job or three pdf documents.
