1 min read

It is possible to convert Excel workbook to PDF with different converter settings for each worksheet. This can be achieved by carry forwarding the PdfDocument through TemplateDocument property available in ExcelToPdfConverterSettings.

The following code snippet explains this.

using (ExcelEngine excelEngine = new ExcelEngine())
{
    IApplication application = excelEngine.Excel;
    application.DefaultVersion = ExcelVersion.Excel2016;
 
    IWorkbook workbook = application.Workbooks.Open("../../Data/Sample.xlsx");
 
    //Load first worksheet into ExcelToPdfConverter
    ExcelToPdfConverter converter = new ExcelToPdfConverter(workbook.Worksheets[0]);
 
    //Have ExcelToPdfConverterSettings
    ExcelToPdfConverterSettings settings = new ExcelToPdfConverterSettings();
    settings.DisplayGridLines = GridLinesDisplayStyle.Visible;
    settings.LayoutOptions = LayoutOptions.FitAllColumnsOnOnePage;
 
    //Convert the first worksheet to PDF with converter settings
    PdfDocument document = converter.Convert(settings);
 
    //Now load second worksheet into ExcelToPdfConverter
    converter = new ExcelToPdfConverter(workbook.Worksheets[1]);
 
    //Have ExcelToPdfConverterSettings               
    settings = new ExcelToPdfConverterSettings();
    //Note: Assigning the document to TemplateDocument in converter settings is mandatory
    //This will carry over the already converted worksheets
    settings.TemplateDocument = document;
    settings.DisplayGridLines = GridLinesDisplayStyle.Visible;
 
    //Convert the second worksheet to PDF with converter settings
    document = converter.Convert(settings);
 
    //Now load third worksheet into ExcelToPdfConverter
    converter = new ExcelToPdfConverter(workbook.Worksheets[2]);
 
    //Have ExcelToPdfConverterSettings               
    settings = new ExcelToPdfConverterSettings();
    //Note: Assigning the document to TemplateDocument in converter settings is mandatory
    //This will carry over the already converted worksheets
    settings.TemplateDocument = document;
    settings.DisplayGridLines = GridLinesDisplayStyle.Invisible;
    settings.LayoutOptions = LayoutOptions.FitSheetOnOnePage;
 
    //Convert the third worksheet to PDF with converter settings
    document = converter.Convert(settings);
 
    //Save the PDF
    document.Save("Output.pdf");
    System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("Output.pdf");
}
