Hello
We need a tool that allows conversion from xls to pdf (single files).
We have to implement this in our standalone .NET (VB.NET) application.
It should be freely distributable.
Can you help us?
Which tool do we need exactly? Prices?
May we have a test component? Do you have code samples?
Thank you
Hi,
Thanks for considering Aspose.
Aspose.Pdf is a component which is used to generate PDF documents from scratch and it offers the capability to transform an XML file, Image files into PDF format.
In case you need to convert an excel worksheet into PDF format, you would require another component named Aspose.Cells, which first converts the contents of excel worksheet into an intermediate XML file and Aspose.Pdf uses that XML file to generate a PDF document.
You can also convert a word document to PDF format, but for that reason you would also require Aspose.Words which first transforms the contents of word document into an XML file and Aspose.Pdf uses that XML file to generate a PDF document. (in recent versions of Aspose.Words a new method of saving a word file directly into PDF format is also introduced)

FYI, In recent versions of Aspose.Cells a new method of saving an excel worksheet directly into PDF format is introduced. You can also try using that. For more related information, please visit Saving Files

Thank you. I tested Aspose.Cells and it seems to do what we want.
Now, I have a question to the licensing. We need this tool for 1 customer. But he uses 1Click deployment do deploy the software to his windows clients. So the software will be installed on several computers in his company. Is this still "1 location"? Is "1 Developer Enterprise Subscription License" possible for our situation?
Thanks,
Patrik
Hello Boeschenstein,
If Aspose.Cells will be installed on several computers but within one company premises then your understanding is correct, you need to have one Developer Enterprise Subscription. You may also read our subscriptions regulations for more details.
Please ask me if you have any further questions and I will be glad to assist you.
this is perfect. Thank you!
