Cell Format not being picked up in Excel Output

Aspose.Cells Product Family
1

Hello,


I am very interested in purchasing this product but I am having trouble with a test Excel report I am using to evaluate it. The report is attached and I am simply trying to open the report and export it to PDF. The result report is missing numerous formatting settings such as cell background color.

Here are some of the features in the Excel (.xlsx) report (items in red indicate issues in PDF output):
  • Freeze Panes
  • Borders
  • Background Color
  • Hyperlink Cell Color
  • Sparklines
  • Alignment
  • Icons
  • Pie Chart

Here is the code snippet I am using for this report conversion from *.xlsx to *.pdf:

//Create a Workbook object and opening the file from its path

Workbook wbSpreadSheetML = new Workbook(“Source Sheets\Test File to Save.xlsx”);

wbSpreadSheetML.Save(“Aspose\A_Test File to Save.pdf”, SaveFormat.Pdf);



The associated test files are included below. Am I using an unsupported feature or is there a current bug associated with Background Color or Hyperlink Color? Understanding this is contingent on my purchase.

Hi,


We have evaluated your issue further. We found it is not an issue with the product. The “Black and white” option is checked in Page Setup (see the attached screen shot highlighted in the attachment), uncheck it manually or by code, it will be OK.

Thank you.
