Save Word or Excel File in PDF format using Report Generation Toolkit and Activex

[devashri_AMT]

Hello,

I am trying to generate a word file using Report Generation Toolkit. I also want it to convert it in PDF and save automatically to a particular location. I preferred the old NI forums to find a solution for this. I saw the use of Word Get Activex Reference. My problem is I am not able to find Activex Method for Word Activex. Are any other software changes required to get Activex Method???

There is another PDF-related message in the Forum here that wants to read a PDF file using LabVIEW.  The solution was to use an external tool, pdfbox from apache.org, as LabVIEW has no native support for PDF documents.  You might check out this other related Forum request and see if it will work for you.

Word, itself, has the tools to convert its files to PDF.  Let Word do it.

I got it.

I was facing problem because my MS word and Labview was not compatible to each other. Both should be 32-bit. Thanks for your valuable time.
