hey hke or anyone else, I'm trying to do the same thing ... convert an Excel
chart to a pdf file. I don't know how to make a .ps file as hke suggests,
and I'm not familiar with vba. I do, however have GSview and ghostscript.
Any suggestions would be helpful

pdfLatex is compatible with jpg and pdf images, and real pdfs look
better than jpgs it seems. I found that the best way was to make a .ps
file of the chart by printing to a postscript printer, and then
converting to pdf. All is done in vba (uses ghostscript).

I use a small routine called CutePDF to convert Excel files into PDFs
using a printer driver that's added by CutePDF. Use Google to find its
web site. Despite not costing several hundreds of dollars, the output is
very professional. I have not tried using it with VBA.
