That's awesome! Mind sharing the prompt you used? I'm working on something pretty similar but a little more complex—looking to convert from an Excel sheet to Markdown or JSON.

If it was just that, I'd probably load onto a pandas df, then export the df to json. There's other ways, but this would be a simple enough way.

Check,

- https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/reference/api/p...

Try something like,

    import pandas as pd

    file_path = 'excel_file.xlsx'
    df = pd.read_excel(file_path, sheet_name='WORKSHEET NAME')
    df.to_json('output.json', orient='records', indent=4)

Sure, here is the prompt.

Can you write me a program that can generate formatted PDFs from JSON? Preferably using the simplest of tools
