Excel to PDF Converter Pro
Creates professional-quality documents in the popular PDF file format.
Excel to PDF Converter Pro is a robust and yet flexible tool to convert Excel spreadsheets into perfect PDF files, faithfully reproducing all the complexities of any MS Excel’s layout.
Excel to PDF Converter Pro certainly represents a step ahead from the already well-known and widely-used non-Pro version. The high level of quality of the output is probably the only thing that has been kept unchanged – everything else is new in this Pro version. It has an interface of its own, as opposed to the plug-in philosophy used in the original product. This allows you to make use of its batch capability to convert a large number of MS Excel files into PDF in just one single operation. Besides, by incorporating a flexible command-line functionality, you can launch the conversion process either from a DOS window or from any of your scripts, without any user interaction.
But working with a proper interface gives you also the possibility of making use of a larger list of settings, not all of them available in the standard version, and certainly not available when using the command-line functionality (the options are very limited there). The different settings dialogs available allow you to fully customize the layout of the PDF output – resolution, rotation, compression, colors (RGB, CMYK, or greyscale), CMYK to RGB image conversion, font embedding, and security. You can enable/disable any security option that you usually find in Acrobat when creating a new document, including encryption level and password management.
After the seamless and fast conversion process, you get the high-quality results, which makes this new Pro level a real improvement of an already reliable product.
