Hi Guys,

Ive been searching the web now for the past few hours looking for a way to convert my excel document in .xls format, (i also have in code, the excel app, workbook and worksheet) if these can be used, and i am looking to convert this into a PDF.

After reading a number of different forums alot of people say this is possible using ITextSharp. I have tried to implement this is code with no luck what so ever, and ive tried looking for a tutorial to give me some hint and cant find any of them.

Alot of people sayu its posible but no one hints at how its done, if anyone could help with this matter or could point me in the right direction i would be very greatful

Kind regards.

Nick

I converted Excel (.xls) to PDF (.pdf). But i used GemBox.Spreadsheet.dll & wnvhtmlconvert.dll. It may help you.

C#

using GemBox.Spreadsheet;
using Winnovative.WnvHtmlConvert;

public class PDFBuilder
    {
        private ExcelFile ef = null;
        private string _saveHtmlLocation = "C:\\2.html";
        private string _savePDFLocation = "C:\\1.pdf";

        public PDFBuilder(string FilePath)
        {
            ef = new ExcelFile();
            ef.LoadXls(FilePath);
            ef.SaveHtml(_saveHtmlLocation, null, true);
            PdfConverter pdfConverter = new PdfConverter();
            pdfConverter.LicenseKey = "<insert your="" own="" license="" key="" here="">";
            pdfConverter.PdfDocumentOptions.EmbedFonts = false;
            pdfConverter.PdfDocumentOptions.ShowFooter = false;
            pdfConverter.PdfDocumentOptions.ShowHeader = false;
            pdfConverter.PdfDocumentOptions.GenerateSelectablePdf = true;
            pdfConverter.SavePdfFromHtmlFileToFile(_saveHtmlLocation, _savePDFLocation);
        }
    }</insert>
