The easiest way is to automate OpenOffice and to use it to convert the Excel file to PDF. Also see Spreadsheet::ParseExcel and PDF::API2, or other PDF modules.	[reply]

On what OS? Is Excel installed? Are you just converting one file, or a batch of many files? From the details given in your question, I would say just install PDFCreator and print the document to a PDF file.	[reply]

Almost sure it is not what you want, but if it is just tabular data, no fancy formatting in Excel, you could use Spreadsheet::ParseExcel, LaTeX::Table and LaTeX::Driver. There is a csv2pdf example in LaTeX::Table.	[reply]
