Aspose.Cells Product Family
1

Hi Aspose team,

We have problems converting the attached Excel file to PDF.
Måleprotokoll.zip (192.1 KB).

We get this exception in VS:
image.png (42.4 KB)

Using this code:
Aspose.Cells.License license;
license = new Aspose.Cells.License();
license.SetLicense(“Aspose.Total.NET.lic”);
string dataDir = “c:\temp\”;
Workbook doc = new Workbook(dataDir + “testt.xlsx”);
doc.Save(dataDir + “output.pdf”, Aspose.Cells.SaveFormat.Pdf);

Thanks in advance for investigating this problem :slight_smile:

It seems you’re encountering an issue while converting an Excel file to PDF using Aspose.Cells. The exception you’re seeing could be due to various reasons, such as file corruption, unsupported features in the Excel file, or issues with the Aspose.Cells library.

Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue:

  1. Check the Excel File: Ensure that the Excel file (testt.xlsx) is not corrupted and can be opened without issues in Microsoft Excel.

  2. Update Aspose.Cells: Make sure you are using the latest version of the Aspose.Cells library, as updates often include bug fixes and improvements.

  3. Use Page Breaks: If your Excel file has a complex layout, consider using page breaks to control how the content is rendered in the PDF. You can implement this by adjusting the page setup in your workbook.

    Here’s a code snippet to illustrate how to do this:

    using Aspose.Cells;
using Aspose.Cells.Rendering;

Workbook workbook = new Workbook("c:\\temp\\testt.xlsx");
PdfSaveOptions options = new PdfSaveOptions();
options.OnePagePerSheet = true; // Optional: Adjust based on your needs
workbook.Save("c:\\temp\\output.pdf", options);

  4. Check for Unsupported Features: Review the Excel file for any features that may not be supported by Aspose.Cells, such as certain formulas, charts, or formatting.

  5. Error Handling: Implement error handling in your code to capture and log the specific exception details, which can help in diagnosing the issue further.

If the problem persists, consider reaching out to the Aspose support forum with the specific exception details and the Excel file for more targeted assistance.

Feel free to ask if you have any further questions!
