' Export to PDF ws.Range("B2").ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, _ Filename:=ThisWorkbook.Path & "\output.pdf", _ OpenAfterPublish:=True End Sub VBA UserForm controls (Label, TextBox) do not support complex scripts like Khmer reliably. Workaround: Use WebBrowser control or simply avoid forms – use Excel cells as input/output.
' Read Khmer text from UTF-8 .txt file khmerText = ReadUTF8File("C:\khmer_text.txt") vba code excel khmer pdf
' Print titles ws.PageSetup.PrintTitleRows = "$1:$3" ' First 3 rows repeat
