Excel to PDF question (for John McNamara & Corion, especially)by cypress (Beadle) |

cypress has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question: Hi all, On Mac OS X with ActivePerl 5.10, I need to save/convert Excel files as/to PDF files. I thought I'd come up with a roundabout solution -- write & save the Excel files as XML using Spreadsheet::WriteExcelXML and then convert them to PDFs with PDF::Template -- only to discover this morning that PDF::Template won't install on this Mac and that, according to Corion in post 771578, I'd lose my fancy formatting anyhow. Any other solutions out there for me? Remember: I'm on a Mac, where I don't believe OLE is of any use (though Spreadsheet::ParseExcel, with its "OLE::Storage_Lite" dependency, installed and runs -- so maybe I'm a little confused). Thanks. --cypress PS: My spreadsheets include image files.
