Have you verified that you can manually export as PDF in Excel for that specific file first?

Hi @karl.hansson 

I believe that's a NAME_NOT_FOUND error in Excel. This could be caused by any number of issues within the Workbook itself. First thing I'd try is setting the Active Sheet Only flag to True and see if that exports ok.

Cheers,
Eric

I should have tried this first.. Didn´´t think it could be an issue but there´s a problem when trying to do it even manually but i get this:

Any suggestion on work around?

When i tried to use the Save As PDF in the other object i get an issue with the Portrait / Landscape input where i tried both True/False without success.

@karl.hansson I haven't seen that specific error before (the one dealing with no printers installed). I would think all it wants is Microsoft Print to PDF set up as a Printer. Do you have that in your list of printers? Maybe if you set it as default in the printers, then it might work? Also, make sure the Print Spooler Windows service is running.
