09-14-2005, 11:45 JohnChambers Joined on 08-29-2005 Posts 2 Automatically converting Excel file to PDF I have inherited a VB application that uses ePrint. The program converts an Excel file to PDF. The application first dynamically creats a Word doc, then pastes the XLS into that doc, then prints the Word doc using the ePrint driver. Is it not possible to write a VB app that simply opens the original Excel file and prints to the ePrint driver? Must we first paste the XLS into Word?? Can someone provide code for the solution I seek?    Report

It does not have the capability of opening files directly and printing them. The reason that your application opens WORD first is because there is a Micorosft Office COM object that allows you to open/create WORD files and operate on them. The developer used this object to print the Excel document. If Microsft offers a COM object that does the same for Excel documents, you can probably do the same and bypass the WORD part of it but I do not believe this object exist which is why the programmer took that route.     Otis Goodwin LEAD Developer Support    Report
