Convert Excel to PDF using cURL Commands

The XLSB to PDF conversion finds its stride through the synergy of Aspose.Cells Cloud and the power of cURL commands. This dynamic duo offers you a versatile and command-line friendly approach to perform this essential transformation effortlessly. So, whether you’re working on a rapid data migration or a systematic batch conversion, this combination offers an elegant solution.

Now, firstly we need to generate a JWT access token (based on our client credentials):

curl -v "https://api.aspose.cloud/connect/token" \
-X POST \
-d "grant_type=client_credentials&client_id=bbf94a2c-6d7e-4020-b4d2-b9809741374e&client_secret=1c9379bb7d701c26cc87e741a29987bb" \
-H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
-H "Accept: application/json"

Once we have a JWT token, please execute the following command to convert Excel (XLSB) to PDF format. After the execution, the resultant PDF is saved on the same cloud storage.

curl -v -X GET "https://api.aspose.cloud/v3.0/cells/myDocument.xlsb?format=PDF&isAutoFit=false&onlySaveTable=false&outPath=Converted.pdf&checkExcelRestriction=true" \
-H  "accept: application/json" \
-H  "authorization: Bearer <JWT Token>"

Convert Specific Excel Worksheet to PDF using cURL Command
