@ksheng,
I have tried to convert these files to PDF using MS Excel and observed that it generates similar PDF (with missing text) as generated by Aspose.Cells. Hence it does not seem to be an issue with the Aspose.Cells but issue with the sample Excel files. You may please try to convert these files to PDF using MS Excel and share the feedback.

thank you for your reply. I opened the excel files and save them as pdf file and they all look ok with data in the pdf file.

I attached the output here for your reference.

Actually, there are more than one sheets in the source file, but sheet tabs is hidden. You can show sheet tabs in Excel by “File->Options->Advanced->Show sheet tabs”: sheet_tabs.png (142.4 KB)

If you printview entire workbook, the result is smilar to our generated:print_entire_workbook.png (58.9 KB)

Your shared Microsoft Excel generated pdf file only outputs the active sheets:print_active_sheet.png (67.1 KB)
You can using the following code to get the same result:

Workbook wb = new Workbook("178634802.xls");

int activeSheetIndex = wb.getWorksheets().getActiveSheetIndex();
for(int i = 0; i < wb.getWorksheets().getCount(); i++)
{
    if(activeSheetIndex != i)
    {
        wb.getWorksheets().get(i).setVisible(false);
    }
}

wb.save("output.pdf");
