Converting Excel Workbook to PDF
PDF files are widely used to exchange documents between organizations, government sectors, and individuals. It is a standard document format and software developers are often asked to find a way to convert Microsoft Excel files into PDF documents.
Aspose.Cells supports converting Excel files to PDF and maintains high visual fidelity in the conversion.
Aspose.Cells directly writes the information about API and Version Number in output documents. For example, upon rendering Document to PDF, Aspose.Cells for C++ populates the Application field with value ‘Aspose.Cells’ and PDF Producer field with value, e.g ‘Aspose.Cells v18.5.0’.
Direct Conversion
Aspose.Cells supports conversion from spreadsheets to PDF independently of other software. Simply save an Excel file to PDF using the Workbook class' Save method. The Save method provides the SaveFormat_Pdf enumeration member that converts the native Excel files to PDF format.
Follow the below steps to directly convert the Excel spreadsheets to PDF format:
- Instantiate an object of the Workbook class by calling its empty constructor.
- You may open/load an existing template file or skip this step if you are creating the workbook from scratch.
- Do any work (input data, apply formatting, set formulas, insert pictures or other drawing objects, and so on) on the spreadsheet using Aspose.Cells' APIs.
- When the spreadsheet code is complete, call the Workbook class' Save method to save the spreadsheet.
The file format should be PDF so select relevant PDF (a pre-defined value) from the SaveFormat enumeration to generate the final PDF document

Setting different properties of the PdfSaveOptions class gives you control over the print, font, security and compression settings for the output PDF. The most important property is SetCompliance which enables you to save the Excel files to PDF/A compliant PDF files.
