I know that PDFCreator 1.0 is close to coming out and I want to see if I can get any official word on some issues that I have seen, reported and heard and seen others computers, but not had any response.
I have posted a few times and would really love see if there will be a fix (can beta test if needed).
I have several issues I have seen listed below.
1. Excel Total Number of Pages in header/footer is not always correct.
Basically the problem is if you print two sheets in Excel and they are different sizes but you elect to put the page numbers on every page then the printed page numbers don't match what the actual page numbers are.
I see it regularly when printing multiple excel sheets with different numbers/widths of columns that are the same DPI but are formatted different.
Basically the total number of pages in the footer is not correct and can vary from one page to another.

2. Margins in Excel Document are Wider than what was selected in Excel.
You have real tight margins in Excel like .2 inches on all sides, Then having page that takes up more than the paper size and having Excel fit 1 page wide by 1 page tall and the margins are bigger than .2 thus making the content on the page smaller than it should be.

I am having the same problems with version 1.0.1. In addition to the the header/footer page number totals not being correct, the header/footer will not be displayed if there are graphics involved.
I am using Office 2007 on Windows 7.
