I have a set of complex Excel files (with figures in it) that I want to show in a web browser. So I need to convert them into HTML page first. Since the excel files are very complex, I can not just parse them and generate a HTML table with HTML tags. The current manual solution that works fine is when I use Microsoft Excel software to save the spreadsheet as a HTML page. I want to automate this task in some way since I want to do it progrmatically through Java. Is their any existing solution or a way to do it? Thanks.
EDIT – I was able to create a macro for it but could not figure it out that how can I execute a macro on excel file from a Java program. Does somebody know?
I ended up using the Scribd API. I uploaded the document to their server through their API in realtime and pasted an iframe with a link in it which is returned by Scribd.
