I'm designing a simple form at work. Took me 20 mins to put together in Excel 2013 (on Win8 Pro if it matters). All my cell borders are 1px and it all fits neatly onto one page. Had to use custom margins (.25" on all sides and 0" header and footer) but no biggie. It prints fine.
Unfortunately, when I export to PDF some cell borders show as 2px and my bottom graphic bleeds onto a second page even though the image borders fit in one Excel page. I assume it's a problem with Excel not passing my custom margins to the PDF, but given that the PDF standard is pushing 20 years old, you'd think they'd have that figured out by now. I can't be the first person to want a PDF with narrow margins.
And why on earth would it make some of my cell borders 2px? ...And yes, I set zoom to 100% so it's not just Acrobat's crappy zooming.
Before anyone suggests it, yes, I normally use InDesign for this stuff. Boss wants anyone to be able to edit it though, and I'm the only guy in the office that knows the Adobe suite.
