Export Excel File
Activity converts Excel file into .pdf or .xps document.
In Exported File Path textbox you should type full path to the file (ending with the name of the destination file). If you do not fill in this textbox - the target file will be placed in the same place as the output .xlsx file with the same name as the output .xlsx file (with extension .pdf or .xps). If you don't specify a sheet name (in Worksheet Name textbox) - all sheet tabs that are in output .xlsx file will be converted. Page range (First Page, Last Page) of the converted file are optional parameters - without this informations all document will be converted. When specifying a page range, make sure you also specify the Worksheet Name.
There is a checkbox Ignore Print Area (default is on). If you want to convert only the previously created Print Area - remove the tick from the checkbox and make sure you also specify the Worksheet Name. In the case of an Excel file with many sheets, when you do not enter the name of a specific sheet, you will receive a sequence of converted pages consisting of entire output sheets (those in which the print area was not selected) interspersed with only print areas from sheets in which this setting was active.
NOTE: character limit in Exported File Path is 218.
