How do I create a new file from the clipboard?

Is there a way to copy a file to the clipboard, like an excel spreadsheet selection for example, and automatically create a new PDF or add as a page in an existing PDF? Or do I have to save out my Excel spreadhseet and import into Acrobat.

Copy the content you want to use from any document and in Acrobat, choose 'File > Create > PDF From Clipboard to create a new fully searchable PDF file.
In Mac OS, you can also choose File > PDF From Screen Capture to convert.
To add text and graphics from the clipboard to an existing PDF file. Open the PDF file and in the Pages panel of the Tools pane, choose More Insert Options > Insert From Clipboard.'
