    I am trying to print a drawing that has an excel (2007) file pasted on
    to it. The excel file was created to allow manipulation of a
    Solidworks BOM. I need to have multiple QTY columns, one for each of
    the sub assemblies that are created as part of this drawing. This is a
    standard used in the aviation industry and adopted by my current
    client. Anyway, I initial create a SW BOM, then save it as an Excel
    File. Make the changes to the Excel file that are required, then copy
    and paste it back into the drawing. When I print using an Adobe PDF
    printer, the area where the Excel file should be is black. I have
    tried many different settings in Adobe to see if I can get different
    results, but none so far. The print preview image is fine and it
    prints ok on my ink jet printer. I can also save as PDF and the image
    is readable with the exception of some of the fonts properties which
    get change during the save-as. If I could keep the font properties
    from changing I would be satisfied using Save as.
