Excel Drawings to PDF not Working

Aspose.Cells Product Family

Hi


In my Excel file i have some drawings in a Excel file. (See Attachments)

When I convert this excel file to pdf these drawings are missing or some other strange effects occur. I tryed out if it happens wether I use the new xlsx format or the old xls format. There is a difference but both results aren’t as expected.

I Attached both xls and xlsx and the generated pdfs as well.

using Aspose.Cells 4.7.0.3

Hi,

Thanks for providing us template files.

Well, I 'm afraid not all the drawing shapes are supported in Excel2Pdf conversion. For reference please check the Supported Drawing objects in the Conversion attributes table in the doc: http://www.aspose.com/documentation/file-format-components/aspose.cells-for-.net-and-java/converting-to-pdf-files-net.html

Thank you.

Hi,

Well, in your template file, there is no text box rather a textbox oriented AutoShape. We only support Text Box control which is there in Drawing tools in MS Excel.

If you still find any issue, kindly post your template file here.

We will check it soon.

Thank you.

will this be fixed soon? Autoshapes are no problem at all for aspose.words to pdf.


99% of all documents from our customer which should be converted to pdf contain autoshapes…

Hi,

Could you provide us some details and tell us which important auto-shapes you need to support for Excel2Pdf conversion, we will support them on higher priority for your requirement.

Thank you.

Hi,

Well, we have checked your desired shapes in your template .xlsx file. Please note:

1) We don't support to read some auto-shapes in your template .xlsx file. We can only preserve them and save them to the xlsx file.

2) For your information, we can only support to read the shapes from the XLS files. But, since these auto-shapes come from xlsx file, so, we cannot read the shape rules for these auto-shapes at the moment.

For reading your desired xlsx supported auto-shapes, since the feature is more complex, we are afraid that we cannot support to read them soon. So, consequently, supporting these shapes for Excel2Pdf conversion cannot be supported so soon.

Sorry for any inconvenience.
