We are having a problem printing Notes documents that contain embedded Excel 2007 Worksheets to a pdf file. When the pdf file is created, all that appears in the pdf document in the place where the Worksheet should appear is solid black - you cannot see the worksheet at all it looks like is has been highlighted in solid black.
Does anyone know of a fix for this problem other than re-installing a previous version of Office?
Thank you in advance.

Good luck with Office 2007 and Vista … Two things I can think of that could be causing the “black out”; Print driver and Office 2007.
If you are using PCL drivers you may want to install the PS (PostScript) driver instead.

I found this article that is really interesting. (another reason for not upgrading to Vista or Office 2007, yet)
Deprecated features for Excel 2007

Here’s an excert from the article:
File Format Support
Historically Excel has supported many different data formats. We have determined that a number of these older formats are seldom, if ever used. We are removing support for some file types to allow us to devote more of our efforts towards the file formats that are being used. Theses formats are being deprecated in 2 ways. For the set of file formats with the lowest usage, we will be discontinuing support for opening and saving of these formats. For the second set that has some minimal usage, we will support loading the files in Excel 2007 to allow you to save them in a newer format.
The following formats cannot be opened or saved in Excel 2007:
WK1 (1-2-3)
WK4 (1-2-3)
WJ3 (1-2-3 Japanese) (.wj3)
WKS (1-2-3)
WK3,(1-2-3)
WK1,FMT(1-2-3)
