It doesn't work on older MS Office versions. Just no SaveAs method or has another params. Not a comtypes problem. The same happens with win32com.client from pyWin32.

Hey @rayoriz , I found it. It's Microsoft Save as PDF or XPS add-in. Reference (please Google translate to your language): https://quantrimang.com/cach-don-gian-de-chuyen-file-excel-sang-pdf-118430
