I would like to export multiple charts to multiple pdf files (each chart to a SEPARATE pdf file). Can I do this with KUTools for Excel?

Hi Jolynn Haney,
At present Kutools for Excel’s Export Graphics feature can export each chart as a separate image (jpeg, gif, tif, and png). And exporting graphics to PDF files is in the plan list of our development team. You may get this feature of exporting graphics to PDF in near future.
