Hi @leoluo,
Yes, it is resolved the “System.text.encoding.codepages” errors.
but pdf file is not opening. also if we set the property as fileformatetype.unknown then it is not showing the image icon for zip, jpeg, msg format types.

Please find the attached poc also excel sheet which has generated using 20.2 version.

Hi @ahsaniqbalsidiqui,

If I don’t set the property for FileFormatType, by default it is displaying the proper icons for docs, pdf and xlsx, but for msg, zip, jpeg, xlsm and few xlsx files are displaying with some unknown icons. attached the screenshot for the reference.

Please advise me, how to handle those icons.

@ahsaniqbalsidiqui,

Just to add to my previous post, xlsm files are opening in previous versions of aspose but using SetEmbeddedObject method -> xlsm files are not opening.

Could you share a template XLSX file (with embedded PDF file) which is created by MS Excel? Also, which PDF viewer is installed in your machine?

We have noted your feedback and will analyze it while working on this issue.

@srinivasaraju.b,

  1. The embedded XLSM file is corrupted, please share us your template XLSM file and sample code, we will check it soon.
  2. As we cannot add all icons of the files, so please add correct icons when calling OleObjectCollection.Add(, byte[]),then we can redraw the image with added image data if we could not find corresponding icon of the file.

Hi @Amjad_Sahi,

  1. I could able to open this file, but when I tried to open as a attachment then the issue is coming. Please find attached xlsm file.

  2. I am using below peace of code for zip file attachment, but still I could not able to see any icon other then default icon.
    byte[] binaryXlsx4;
    fullPath = Path.Combine(fullPath, “Images\zip.png”);

                     //converting display image into bytes
                 byte[] binaryImg4 = File.ReadAllBytes(fullPath);

                 int idxOle = worksheet.OleObjects.Add(row, col, 60, 60, binaryImg4);
                 OleObject objOle = worksheet.OleObjects[idxOle]; // worksheet.OleObjects[idxOle];
                 binaryXlsx4 = File.ReadAllBytes(filesPath + "\\AttachmentFiles\\TS_Reports.zip");
                 objOle.SetEmbeddedObject(false, binaryXlsx4, "TS_Reports.zip", true, "abcd");
