Unoconv - Maintain scaling converting xlsx to pdf

1.1k Views Asked by At

I'm using unoconv to convert an Excel file to PDF. The converted PDF retains the correct scaling when converting from an .xls file, however the PDF scaling reverts to 100% when converting from an .xlsx file. In other words, unoconv converts the same file, albeit with different extensions and Excel format, differently.

Operating system is Ubuntu. I'm running unoconv from the command line. I've scoured the web for a solution and have found none. I believe it's a bug in unoconv, i.e. unoconv does not seem to support maintaining the scaling when converting from .xlsx as it does when converting from .xls

Has anyone else encountered this and, if so, is there a workaround?
