Thanks a load Tom, I understand, for this to work I will need to get an instance of OpenOffice running and listening for requests. I may not be able to do this in my current requirement as the App is already deployed at dozens of clients and requiring all of them to install and configure OO will be a nightmare for support.
Thanks anyway. P.S. The code snippet is using odt extension for source file. Will it work with XLS?

How this can be done is shown in the codesnippet here: http://codesnippets.services.openoffice.org/Office/Office.ConvertDocuments.s nip Tom Tahir Akhtar wrote: > Hi, > > > > If I generate an excel sheet using POI, and have an instance of HSSFWorkbook > on hand, what are my options for generating a PDF file? > > > > Any ideas will be really helpful. > > > > Regards, > > Tahir > > -- No virus found in this incoming message.
