@PFU.DSOL2,

Thanks for the template file and sample code.

After an initial test, I am able to observe the issue as you mentioned by converting your template XLSX file to PDF file format. I found Ink tools/shape disappeared when converting to PDF.
e.g
Sample code:

using (var book = new Workbook("N0024.xlsx")) 
            { 
                book.Save("out1.pdf", Aspose.Cells.SaveFormat.Pdf); 
            }

I have logged a ticket with an id “CELLSNET-45961” for your issue. We will look into it soon.

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

@PFU.DSOL2,

For your information, the ink type tools/shapes are not currently supported when rendering to PDF file format. It might take some time to support this feature.

Once we have any new information, we will share it with you.
