i don't know excel-to-pdf, but looking at this as a java-to-pdf issue, here are some potentials... iText is a java pdf library: http://www.lowagie.com/iText/ also, if you want to get into the xml world, you can go excel-to-xml-to-pdf. the xml-to-pdf part would be handled using xslt and xsl-fo (see http://xml.apache.org/fop/ for an example). lastly, jfreereport does pdf generation: http://www.object-refinery.com/jfreereport/

Just curious ... how did you wind up opening the Excel file?
A good question is never answered. It is not a bolt to be tightened into place but a seed to be planted and to bear more seed toward the hope of greening the landscape of the idea. John Ciardi
