Programmatically save excel file as pdf using test stand

With Test Stand 2017 and above, you can read and write excel files.  

 

Can I programmatically convert an excel file to pdf in Test Stand? If not, what do you recommend?

By excel file, do you mean CSV?

 

CSV files are not Excel files but rather supported by Excel. Primarily Excel spreadsheet files end with xls or xlsx extension.

Very good question!

 

Ideally, I think a .xlsx file because it has the advantage of containing formatting information.  See attached file which only has a single worksheet.

 

I was able to convert this file manually to a pdf with the Excel "Save As" function and that worked flawlessly (also attached).
