Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
His whole rant would carry a lot more weight if he didn't shoot his films in SD video.

Anyone have an idea why PDFMaker would just stop working when attempting to convert files to PDF from Microsoft Word and Excel?

Problem is, it's my work machine and I'm just trying to put off calling desktop services.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
This is a complete stab-in-the-dark, but are you logged in as a different user than normal? Have you tried rebooting?
What happens when you try to use PDFMaker? Does it fail? or is the option not available at all?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Is it something specific to a particular document? I've had a document crap out in the middle of conversion for some reason. I ended up cutting it into sections, which successfully converted, and then rejoining them in Adobe.

tommyrot, that gives me an idea. I may try logging in under a different username and see if anything's running. I have rebooted, but no dice.
What happens when you try to use PDFMaker?
It attempts to export, "prints" the PDF, and then the process just hangs up, churning for infinity.

Is it something specific to a particular document?
No, other people can export the Excel file as a PDF successfully. I tried with a fresh Excel file, and that didn't work, either.

AHA. Logged in under a different username, found a failed print job, killed it and reset the default printer. Logged in under my regular username and the PDFMaker plug-in is working again.
Eat it, technology!
