How to copy and paste cells from Excel onto an Adobe page

Using the full version of Adobe Reader version 7, which enables you to create
PDF files, I am unable to copy and paste a range of cells from an Excel
spreadsheet onto an Adobe page and retain the original formatting as on the
spreadsheet.

In version 6 of Adobe, this used to work fine, retaining the Excel
formatting. But in version 7 of Adobe, the Excel formatting is lost. What am
I missing?

You have to use Acrobat instead of Acrobat Reader to write PDF documents.
