title: Convert excel to pdf or create new pdf file?
body: <p>I am developing a web app using java. I can create reports in excel files for the user to download. Now I am told to give the option of downloading it in a pdf file. Should I use a library to create pdf and write the content or look up a way to convert the excel file into pdf? I think the second option would be easier to develop, but are there any disadvantages on doing this? And if this is the best option, what would be a good library to convert xls to pdf?</p>
