rony2006 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 (edited) Hi, Sorry if has been discussed already but I have no idea what to search for. I have a small project for someone that want a software to be able to fill some forms and then to generate a PDF with data from the forms. The PDF should have a standard format. I was thinking to do an Excel template and then using Autoit Excel functions to write data to it and save it as a PDF file. The problem is that I need somehow to hide that excel template. I can have an .au3 or .exe file and a folder where I put all resources but I dont want to let other people by themselves to edit the template and to generate other kind of PDF. I am thinking if is possible to convert the excel template into a string, store the string inside a text file and when software is using it to convert the string back to excel and then to delete it after PDF is generated. What do you think? Edited February 25, 2021 by rony2006 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrancescoDiMuro Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 @rony2006 You could "install" the template with FileInstall() and remove it once the PDF has been generated. This would make the .exe a little bigger, but it's a solution Click here to see my signature: Spoiler ALWAYS GOOD TO READ: Forum Rules Forum Etiquette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
