Geeting issue while converting DOCX to PDF

​@omkar.ghag Am I reading this correctly? You’re using EXCEL to convert a WORD document to a PDF? Could you share some code or some background of what and how you’re doing this?

@Aaron.Gleason, I’m trying to convert DOCX files to PDF in a loop. However, when the “File Conversion: DOCX to PDF” command executes, it closes any Excel file that was opened earlier. Could you please advise if there’s a way to prevent Excel from closing or suggest an alternative approach for the conversion?

​@omkar.ghag That’s quite interesting. I can duplicate what you’re seeing. I was able to prevent Excel from closing by making a change to the opened Excel file -- it asked me to save my changes when it tried to close Excel, so I could press Cancel. Not ideal.

I also see that it closes Word. Looking at the package, there are VBS scripts internally that close all these applications. It seems they are being called in error.

Can you rearrange your automation to perform the conversions before or after you’re working with the Excel file? Maybe read the Excel file into a Table and process the Table from memory?
