First print your Excel sheet to PDF, this shouldn't be too difficult as long as 
the Excel file is saved exactly the way you want it printed ...
Then convert the PDF files to JPG using ImageMagick.

Hello

I am not an expert in perl and so before I propose that a particular script be 
written I would likek to get an idea as to how hard the task would be.

We have a large number (in my opinion) of excel spreadsheets that need to be 
concerted to jpeg format. The jpeg files are used when a document is created 
and the jpeg files are inserted. The spreadsheets are under configuration 
control and the current policy is that when a spreadsheet is updated the jpeg 
file is created (via a macro) and it too goes under CM control. I am 
considering proposing that a perl script could go through the directory 
structure and save each spreadsheet to a jpeg file and it would be more 
efficient and cost effective.

Question:

1. How hard is it to write a perl script that will open a spreadsheet and save 
it to a jpeg file?
2,. Does this capability exist now?

Thanks,
Andrew
