4. Have all excel files in same folder
5. Select all excel files
6. Right click
7. Select Print
8. Save Each PDF to a location

Adam,
If you could come up with a way without using Adobe writer, it should
also work for me.

He didn't use Adobe Writer! In fact he said he didn't. PDFCreator is a
free utility. Download it here:
