Fix for missing exported content when using k15t Scroll PDF Exporter
Problem
The Excellentable plug-in encountered a couple of situations when using the k15t Scroll PDF Exporter macro. The cells in the spreadsheet that have indented text are not indented in the exported PDF. Instead, the text in the cell is left justified instead of indented with spaces. The indent was missing whether the spreadsheet was imported or the white space was created from scratch.
A secondary issue noted was that the exported PDF also would not export the XML content. Where the XML content should have been is just a blank space in place in the exported PDF.
