Is it possible to save xlsx as pdf from Inventor 2019? (VBA?)

 

To make it clear, I exported some parameters to xlsx file then i save it, and now i'd like to save it as pdf directly from Inventor (maybe i want too much 🙂 )

 

SyntaxEditor Code Snippet

GoExcel.CellValue("filename.xlsx", "Sheet1", "A2")= "whatever"

GoExcel automates portions of the Excel Interop API.  with the Excel object and the ws (worksheet) object this is the complete Excel Interop method (vb.net) to print/save PDF from Excel using its built in PDF driver.

 Try
                ws.PageSetup.PrintArea = rngTable.Address
            Catch ex As Exception
                MsgBox("Error setting print area to table size.")
            End Try
            Try
                ExcelApp.PrintCommunication = False
            Catch ex As Exception

            End Try
            Try
                ws.PageSetup.Zoom = False
            Catch ex As Exception
                MsgBox("Error setting page setup zoom mode to false.")
            End Try
            Try
                ws.PageSetup.FitToPagesWide = 1
            Catch ex As Exception
                MsgBox("Error setting page setup fit to pages wide to 1.")
            End Try
            Try
                ws.PageSetup.FitToPagesTall = 0
            Catch ex As Exception
                MsgBox("Error setting page setup fit to pages tall to auto (0).")
            End Try
            Try
                ExcelApp.PrintCommunication = True
            Catch ex As Exception

            End Try
            'save file
            If Not String.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(DrawingListPath) Then
                If System.IO.Directory.Exists(System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(DrawingListPath)) = False Then
                    System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(DrawingListPath))
                End If
                If WorkFile.Exists Then
                    WorkFile.Delete()
                    WorkFile.Refresh()
                End If
                wb.SaveAs(DrawingListPath, , , , , , , Excel.XlSaveConflictResolution.xlUserResolution)
                'print table to pdf
                ws.ExportAsFixedFormat(Excel.XlFixedFormatType.xlTypePDF, WorkFile.FullName, Excel.XlFixedFormatQuality.xlQualityStandard, True, False, , , False)
                wb.Close()
                           End If

 WorkFile is an instance of the class System.IO.FileInfo, and since there are many ways Excel can kick back errors I have many try catch blocks.
