+20Hi All,
I have successfully developed an automation process that customises and exports a table to Excel format. The final transformer in the workflow is a FeatureWriter, which generates the Excel file.
I am now looking to convert this Excel output into a PDF format. However, my attempts using the available FME PDF transformers have not been successful.
Could anyone advise on how to achieve this using FME? I have read that SystemCaller or a PythonCaller script might be viable options.
Thanks :)
Have a look at the brand new Document PDF Writer package from Safe, it replaces the old PDF writer and is a big improvement: https://hub.safe.com/publishers/safe/packages/documentpdf

import xlwings as xw
wb = xw.Book(r"C:\path\to\yourfile.xlsx")
wb.api.ExportAsFixedFormat(0, r"C:\path\to\yourfile.pdf")
wb.close()
