Here ist a script, that takes an excel file name and runs the excel function "Save As ..." for the whole work book.
use strict;
use warnings;
use File::Spec::Functions qw(rel2abs);
use Win32::OLE;
use Win32::OLE::Variant;
use Win32::OLE::Const 'Microsoft Excel';
$Win32::OLE::Warn = 3; # die on errors...
# get excel file name and full path
my $filename = shift;
$filename = rel2abs($filename);
# get PDF file name
my $pdffilename = $filename;
$pdffilename =~ s/\.xls.*/\.pdf/i;
# delete existing PDF file
if ( -e $pdffilename ) {
print "pdf file exists already. removing file\n";
unlink($pdffilename);
}
# Open document
# Create new MSExcel object and load constants
my $MSExcel = Win32::OLE->new( 'Excel.Application', 'Quit' )
or die "Could not load MS Excel";
my $excel = Win32::OLE::Const->Load($MSExcel);
my $Book = $MSExcel->Workbooks->Open( { FileName => "$filename" } );
# Run Excel function "Save As ..."
$Book->ExportAsFixedFormat(
{
Type => xlTypePDF,
Filename => "$pdffilename",
Quality => $excel->{xlQualityStandard},
IncludeDocProperties => $excel->{True},
IgnorePrintAreas => $excel->{False},
OpenAfterPublish => $excel->{False},
}
);
# Close document
$Book->Close( { SaveChanges => $excel->{xlDoNotSaveChanges} } );
if ( -e $pdffilename ) {
print "PDF file created\n";
}
exit(0);

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
