I Walter, 2 years on, I have encountered a new problem. Suddenly I cannot export an excel document as a pdf. It exports as zero mb with a time stamp of 55 years ago! I tried to reload the app...

It sounds like there could be an issue in the Excel app when exporting a file to a PDF and then saving it onto Dropbox. 

Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Excel app, or contacting Microsoft support regarding this matter?
