Hi ankitguptajpr,

Welcome to the MSDN forum.

Here is another solution: save the data into Excel and use Excel to save the data as pdf file.

Here is some information about this solution:

Hope this helps.

Answer 4

There is not one VB keyword to do this. In the link I provided, you find the PDF file documentation. You can write the code to export to a PDF file.
