Was trying to add a footer to a visio file using Aspose Diagram Java API.

It is not showing the footer correctly. on the top i can see the footer text in a mirror image like.

The code used to add footer was

String cfilePath = “D:\test\Visio Process Flow and Decision Tree.vsdx”;

	Diagram diagram;
	try {
		diagram = new Diagram(cfilePath);
		diagram.getHeaderFooter().setFooterCenter("Center of the footer");
		diagram.save(cfilePath, SaveFileFormat.VSDX);
	} catch (Exception e) {
		// TODO Auto-generated catch block
		e.printStackTrace();
	}

Uploading the file for which was not getting the footer text correctly.

Can you suggest?

Thanks

Thanks for the template vsdx file.
Please open the print preview of the generated vsdx file. You can see that the generated footer is centered. Please refer to the screenshot of the latest version 24.3 for the generated footer.

@philip.zhou Thanks for the quick response.

Will this work with Aspose Diagram 23.7 jar also?

Also if we convert to PDF and see the pdf document, hope we can see the footer.

@sabkan
I have tested your scenario/case using our latest version : Aspose.Diagram for Java v24.3 . It works fine and as expected.
Could you please share your current code that you are using. We will check and assist you accordingly.
Please refer to the following code and find attached the output pdf file for your reference.
Outfile.pdf (119.5 KB)

	// add page number at the right corner of header
   	diagram.getHeaderFooter().setHeaderRight("&p");

   	// set text at the center
   	diagram.getHeaderFooter().setHeaderCenter("Center of the header");

   	// set text at the left side
   	diagram.getHeaderFooter().setHeaderLeft("Left of the header");

   	// add text at the right corner of footer
   	diagram.getHeaderFooter().setFooterRight("Right of the footer");

   	// set text at the center
   	diagram.getHeaderFooter().setFooterCenter("Center of the footer");

   	// set text at the left side
   	diagram.getHeaderFooter().setFooterLeft("Left of the footer");

   	// set text font properties
   	diagram.getHeaderFooter().getHeaderFooterFont().setItalic(BOOL.TRUE);
   	diagram.getHeaderFooter().getHeaderFooterFont().setUnderline(BOOL.FALSE);

PS. we cannot evaluate issues with older version. Neither we can include fixes to older APIs set. The fixes are based on latest version/APIs set only.

This is the code being used

LocalDate today = LocalDate.now();
DateTimeFormatter dateTimeFormatter = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern(“MM/dd/yyyy”);
String formattedDate = today.format(dateTimeFormatter);

		if (!inputDir.exists()) {
			System.out.println("Input directory is not valid");
		} else {
			Diagram diagram;
			diagram = new Diagram(fileDir + File.separator + fname);
			Date date = new Date();
			diagram.getHeaderFooter().setFooterCenter(footerText + formattedDate + footerText1);

			// to have to change to VSDX,VSD,VSS formats
			diagram.save(fileDir + fname, SaveFileFormat.PDF);

Tried with 24.3 jar also and same behaviour observed as earlier.

Is it related to some adobe acrobat reader setting?
