While converting attached MPP file into PDF, I saw that at various places, the arrows connecting from one task to another in chart area seems to be missing. I noticed it at few places, not sure if there are more instances.
Attaching samples along with screenshot to illustrate the same.
I was able to reproduce this issue with “Advanced Assignments A_Start.mpp” at my end using the latest version of Aspose.Tasks for Java 7.0.0 and have logged it as TASKS-33759 in our issue tracking system for further investigation by our development team. Once there is any information available in this regard, I’ll update you here via this thread.
However I could not reproduce the issue using “Advanced Tasks A_Start.mpp”. The output PDF and supporting snapshot is attached here for your reference. Could you please test it again and if issue is not resolved, please send us the console application which can be used to re-produce this issue here?
Regarding issue # 3, am attaching the screenshot (have used your PDF output).
You’ll notice that on Page # 9, lines marked by red arrows are missing in output. Looks like wherever there’s a page-break between two tasks with dependency, this arrow line (indicating dependency) goes missing.
Here is the output generated with the pre-release version of Aspose.Tasks 7.1.0. Please let us know if we can be of any additional help to you in this regard.
Arrow lines I highlighted in my previous screenshot are still not there in this output. Please check page # 15.
Earlier output was 14 page PDF, now it has become 22 page, I haven’t verified whole file, I hope it’s fine. If possible, please do a basic sanity and see that there’s no regression.
I observe one small regression, the date header text has gone too close to the divider line in this new output unlike earlier, attaching screenshot.
Thank you for providing feedback. Following are our comments regarding your concerns:

Comments: We have rescaled the PDF output and have reduced the size. Please review the attached PDF which has 10 pages only for the sample MPP.

Comments: We have analyzed this requirement, and have increased the text distance from the divider line. You may please observe this in the attached PDF as well.

Comments: I would like to share that currently there is limitation that the linked lines are not connected on the next pages. However as we have reduced the number of pages, thus the impact of this limitation may be reduced.
Please feel free to write us back if you have any other query in this regard.
- That’s a major limitation as it basically is a data-loss. Is there already a feature request that is being worked upon ? If not, please file one, and take it under ES (in AjeshEMC quota) with Major priority.
- Text space in title is fine now.
- You rescaled the PDF and reduced the number of pages in this output. Is it configuration by any chance ? Can a user do it himself ?
Looks like we have another case of poor fix in the form of TASKS-33779, and it might have to be reopened.
As you can see in the attachment, arrow is going on top of the bottom symbols panel, it looks so weird, it obviously should stop at the bottom border of chart panel just like how MS Office does.
I was able to reproduce this issue at my end using the latest version of Aspose.Tasks for Java 7.2.0 and have logged it as TASKS-33823 in our issue tracking system for further investigation by our development team. Once there is any information available in this regard, I'll update you here via this thread.
We are sorry for the inconvenience caused to you.
P.S. Issue TASKS-33779 is about providing an enhancement for link arrows across the pages. However this current issue seems to be a bug in new implemented feature, that is why it is logged as new bug.
We have prepared the hotfix which contains the resolution of issue logged under Id: TASKS-33823 for erroneous rendering of link line over the bottom symbols panel. Could you please download the new release Aspose.Tasks for Java 7.2.1 and let us know the feedback?
We are glad to know that your issue is resolved and thank you for providing the feedback. Please feel free to write us back if you have any other query related to Aspose.Tasks.
