Issue publishing some Excel 3-D shapes into PDF

Aspose.Cells Product Family
1

We are currently evaluating Aspose.Cells library v.23.7.2 and noticed regression when inserting Excel shapes into PDF.
The change caused some details of the shapes to completely disappear.
In particular - in attached ExcelToPdfChart 1.pdf “Net Operating Budget” only y-axis lines and chart title are shown in PDF, no bars .
Similarly in ExcelToPdfChart 3.pdf - only Pie legend colors are shown, not the pie itself, nor the chart legend.
This did not occur with the current production version Aspose.Cells 21.3, nor with Aspose.Cells up to 23.1, but started happening since at least 23.6 release.
Is is a known issue / behavior? Is there a workaround that can be applied?
Attached is a zip file containing the following:

  • ExcelShapesToPdfTest.java - Small sample program creating PDF from Worksheet named SHEET_NAME and shapes named NAMED_SHAPE;
  • ExcelToPdf.xlsx - input Excel Workbook with several tested Worksheets; InlineCharts is the worksheet used in testing;
  • Various output PDFs created with different versions of Aspose Cells library - named ExcelToPdfChart 1-v[version].pdf and ExcelToPdfChart 3-v[version].pdf
  • PowerPoint and PDF files with consumed EMF image, illustrating the problem.

This is reproducible under both Windows 10 and Linux 7 OS.

Please let us know if you need more information.
Thank you.
