Excel allows to save a file as PDF. And because you already use Libxl you can just do a saveas with libxl i think. ---

LibXL is not Excel, nor does it utilize Excel. Whatever printing output Excel has, would not necessarily translate to LibXL, unless LibXL specifically states that capability. ---

Office Inside template is opening Excel. On the other hand, LibXL does not has function to load Excel file. How do you solve that case? ---

Hello - I’m not sure whether Office Inside has all of those methods wrapped, but if you search for [vba+excel+range+copypicture+export+image](https://www.google.com/search?q=vba+excel+range+copypicture+export+image), maybe you will come up with a solution. ---

As well as SaveAs pdf in Excel, you can also print to PDF using the “Microsoft Print to PDF” printer driver which probably comes with Windows, or at least with Microsoft Office.They both work fine. With my rather complex eight page workbook printing actually requires three prints because the page orientation changes, and then I have to merge them together afterwards. SaveAs pdf does the whole file at once. ---
