  Hi,

  Thanks for reaching out to us with your query.
  
  You can easily create a Pdf file through an Excel document using GCExcel library.

  public class Main 
  {
      public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
      // Create a new workbook
      Workbook workbook = new Workbook();
      // Open an excel file
      InputStream fileStream = new FileInputStream("EmployeeData.xlsx");
      workbook.open(fileStream);
      // Save to an pdf file
      workbook.save("ConvertExcelToPDF.pdf");
   }

  To resolve these type of errors, make sure all dependencies are added to the project. You can refer here: for all GCExcel Java dependencies: https://www.grapecity.com/documents-api-excel-java/docs/online/getting-started.html

  Please refer the working GCExcel Java sample to create Pdf through an Excel document:
  
  ConvertExcelToPDF_java.zip

  You can get back to us if you face any other issues.

  Best Regards,
