In Excel do File->Print then click the "PDF ▾" button in the bottom left of the print dialog and select the "Save as PDF" command.

Nice touch using the ▾ character in your explanation.

That's exactly what I do. The ability to print so easily and cleanly to PDF is one of my favorite OS X features.

No. You just have to be using 10.3 Panther or 10.4 Tiger and follow TETENAL's directions.

Select the "Save as PDF..." option.
