Help? Problem! Print in landscape mode

Aspose.Cells Product Family
1

Hello,

I'm implementing xlsx file printing and I have a question about this feature in Aspose Cells for java (v8.5.2):

When I try to print, it doesn't print correctly in landscape mode.

Test case to reproduce the problem:

1) Create an empty excel file, for example, test.xlsx

2) Fill A1, A2 cells

3) Set Orientation mode to Landscape. Save test.xlsx

4) If I print from within excel, it prints exactly as expected

5) If I send to the same printer via SheetRender or WorkbookRender it looks much different. There is a large left margin. Is there any known issues with the Render? 


      Workbook wb = new Workbook("C:\\temp\\asposeCellsPrint\\test.xlsx");

      Worksheet wSh  = wb.getWorksheets().get(0); 

      SheetRender sR = new SheetRender(wSh, new ImageOrPrintOptions());

      sR.toPrinter(printerName);

Thanks
for your help.

Hi,


Thanks for providing us some details.

Could you try our latest fix/version: Aspose.Cells for Java v8.6.3.4 if it makes any difference.

If you still find the issue, kindly provide your template Excel file, we will check it soon. Also provide print output using MS Excel.

Thank you.

Hi,

Thanks for the quick response.

The problem still exists after the installation of the latest fix/version: Aspose.Cells for Java v8.6.3.4.

I have attached a test file and printed output using MS Excel. If you print this via excel, then print with the code below, you should notice the difference.

Code

Workbook wb = new Workbook("C:\\temp\\asposeCellsPrint\\newtest.xlsx");
Worksheet wSh = wb.getWorksheets().get(0);
SheetRender sR = new SheetRender(wSh, new ImageOrPrintOptions());
sR.toPrinter(printerName);

Thanks

Hi,


Thanks for the template file.

I am afraid, I still could not find the issue with our latest version/fix: Aspose.Cells for Java v8.6.3.6

I used the following sample code with your template file and I attached the printed output saved in XPS file format for your reference. I used “Microsoft XPS Document Writer” as my default printer on my system.
e.g
Sample code:

Workbook wb = new Workbook(“newtest.xlsx”);
Worksheet wSh = wb.getWorksheets().get(0);

ImageOrPrintOptions options = new ImageOrPrintOptions();
SheetRender sR = new SheetRender(wSh, options);
sR.toPrinter(“Microsoft XPS Document Writer”);


Thank you.

The attached file is in Portrait mode. I need to get Landscape orientation. The file newtest.xlsx has Landscape mode. If I use “Microsoft XPS Document Writer” I can get the same result as you. When I try to print from within excel, it print exactly as expected (attachment: img-121120502-0001.pdf). If I send to the same printer via SheetRender it has a large left margin (attachment: img-121120515-0002.pdf)

I found out the same problem description for .Net (This issue has been logged as CELLSNET-41285.)


Thank you.

Hi,


Thanks for providing us further details.

I found an issue with printing in landscape mode via SheetRender/WorkbookRender APIs. The worksheet page is set as Landscape as I checked. I used “Microsoft XPS Document Writer” as my default printer to render the XPS document but somehow Aspose.Cells seems to start rendering the contents vertically and @ top-right corner of the landscape page.
e.g
Sample code:

Workbook wb = new Workbook(“newtest.xlsx”);
Worksheet wSh = wb.getWorksheets().get(0);

ImageOrPrintOptions options = new ImageOrPrintOptions();

SheetRender sR = new SheetRender(wSh, options);
sR.toPrinter(“Microsoft XPS Document Writer”);

I have logged an investigation ticket with an id “CELLSJAVA-41695” for your issue. Our concerned developer from product team will soon investigate and look into your issue to figure it out (if possible). Also we will try your scenario/ case using some other printers (virtual/physical).

Once we have any update on it, we will let you know here.

Thank you.
