By chance is someone reading this who works at Microsoft? Could you put me in touch with someone on the Excel for Mac team? I would love to talk to someone at Microsoft about it. Never been saved on Mac, and make a new file for testing. Microsoft has also failed to promptly release macOS patches for an actively exploited Excel zero-day in November, a severe security feature bypass bug that allows local exploitation from. The only thing I can do at that point is go back to my Windows version that has It seems like once the problem happens, it’s always going to be there. Even if I open it on Windows and then save it before attempting to output the PDF, the problem still happens. It seems like something is going wrong in the way Excel for Mac saves the file. It doesn’t do it 100% of the time, but it seems to be at least 75% of the time. I’ve tested this with both a XLSM file and XLSB file, and the problems happens on both.

So it’s clear to me that the VBA code that creates the PDF is fine. If I do the exact same thing WITHOUT saving it on Excel for Mac 2016 and above, the file works perfectly fine. (It does give a crash message, in that instance.) The same thing will happen if I try to output a PDF on Excel 2011 for Mac – it will sometimes crash that version, too.

(I’ve built the file on Windows.) The file will be emailed between many different people some on different versions of Excel for Windows and some on different versions of Excel for Mac.Īs I’ve been testing the file, I have discovered a big problem if the file is saved on Excel for Mac 2016 and above and is then opened on Windows. I am creating a Macro-Enabled Excel workbook that needs to work on both Windows & Mac.
I have discovered a critical problem with Excel for Mac 2016 and above, and am hoping someone here could help me with it.
