Hi @Jia Wen Loo it will not great if you creat Excel to pdf  because of data of Excel.

You can follow a approach that I have used in past. Just get the data from the Excel and populate that data on a screen with the design you want and then print that screen using any forge component and generate that screen into pdf.

I hope this will help. Let me know if any other help required.

Hi Yashpal, Thanks for replying me. I have tried the solution that you said using ReactivePrintPDFButton forge, but I have facing some issue which is print screen with table, the print screen won't show all of the table data and it will cut off a few columns. 

Appreciate if you can provide the solution for resolving this?

Hi you can use the ultimate pdf forge componen. Inside that component you will get a layout webblock using that you can define the layout of the pdf and that will make your pdf into pages. Just set all the data into the content placeholder.

I hope will help you. If this resoles then please mark it for the reference.


Thank you

Absolutely! There are several solutions and online tools that can help you convert Excel files to PDF. One popular method is using Excel itself—just 'Save As' and choose the PDF format. for more info you can visit Downloading SOftware site
