File is opened in Protected View after conversion to XLS

Scenario: Simply set password to open and convert attached sample file to XLS format. Aspose.Cells 8.7.0.0.


Issue: File is opened in Protected View.

If I do not set Password to open, then protected view is not used.

var w = new Workbook(@“d:\sample.xlsm”);
w.Settings.Password = “1”;
w.Save(@“d:\sample.xls”);

Thanks,

Hi,


Thanks for providing us template file and sample code.

After an initial test, I observed the issue as you mentioned by using your sample code with your template file. I found that the output file is opened in Protected View in MS Excel. Performing the same operation manually in MS Excel does not produce such behavior.
e.g
Sample code:

var w = new Workbook(@“d:\sample.xlsm”);
w.Settings.Password = “1”;
w.Save(@“d:\sample.xls”);
