Cannot Export multiple sections from Excel to PDF without losing pagination

I asked a question that you didn't answer. Are you saying that if you print [to PDF] the two sheets separately, the output formatting is OK? The problem with what you're trying to do is that if you print multiple sheets en masse, you're going to get a single print job and the pagination will occur accordingly. Does the data you're using have to be on separate sheets? Can you copy the data from sheet 2 to sheet 1 for printing purposes?

Yes - the formatting of the documents is fine. Yes, the data needs to be on a separate sheet. No, putting it all on one sheet doesn't accomplish my objective.

Version 1908 - came with MS Office 365 ProPlus - I have found no solution
There is no 1908. Referring to Windows 10, there is 1809 (October 2018) and 1909 (most recent released version, November 2019). You have found no solution because there isn't one, given the way you've got things arranged. Excel is doing what you're asking it to do, not what you want it to do.

You will have to export the sheets individually and then combine into one PDF. I assume you have Acrobat.

I got it! I got something called Kofax PDF Create Assistant (luckily found out that we had a copy purchased for someone not using it) and you can combine separate PDF files into one PDF without impacting the pagination. It adds an extra step in releasing documents but it works. Thanks to all who provided helpful input and didn't yell at me.
