PDF Generation from MS Office Products in Report Generator Toolkit

[PPLLC]

If NI were to make the following modification to the Word_Save_Document vi, we would be able to generate PDF documents directly out of the Report Generation Toolkit. This may only be applicable to later versions of Word.

What is required is to handle the PDF file extension and set the appropriate wdSaveFormat value for the SaveAs Method. It would also be nice to be able control the show PDF after generation option, but just being able to save as PDF would be very useful.

Yes, it would be a good idea.

Jokelnice, if you like the idea so much give it a Kudos.  I've seen several posts by you saying you like the ideas but you don't give Kudos.  NI looks at the Kudos first.  So if you like the idea, give the Kudos.

Ok, thanks

While not exactly what you requested, there are a few PDF generation tools on the LabVIEW Tools Network which might help in your application.

Also, it looks like there was already an idea posted a few years ago that is similar to this one:
