We are using the Aspose.PDF dll to convert the PDF data to xlsx format.
In PDF format, my report has 4 columns, whereas when exported to xlsx format using Aspose, the resulting columns are 5. Randomly some columns are split into 2 in xlsx, and data is split between those 2 columns. Could you please help us in resolving this issue?
DLL : Aspose.PDF
Version : 21.4.0
Would you please make sure using the latest version of the API i.e. 21.5 and if you still face any issue, please share your sample PDF with us so that we can test the scenario in our environment and address the issue accordingly.
We were able to replicate the issue at our end while using 21.5 version and the below code snippet:
Document pdfDocument = new Document(dataDir + "AVA.pdf");
Aspose.Pdf.ExcelSaveOptions excelsave = new ExcelSaveOptions();
excelsave.Format = ExcelSaveOptions.ExcelFormat.XLSX;
//excelsave.MinimizeTheNumberOfWorksheets = true;
excelsave.ConversionEngine = ExcelSaveOptions.ConversionEngines.LegacyEngine;
pdfDocument.Save(dataDir + "AVA.out.xlsx", excelsave);

Thank you. Notice there are cells that are merging as well (see Northern Sonoma and North Coast). Merging and splitting data between multiple columns is consistent behavior we are seeing across most reports.
Do you have an ETA on when I might receive an update? We have some promotion deadlines coming up and I’m trying to plan what will be in our release.
We have already recorded this information under the ticket ID that has been shared earlier.
The issue is logged under the free support model and will be resolved on a first come first serve basis. We are afraid that we cannot share an ETA until the issue is investigated completely. We will further inform you once we have definite updates regarding its resolution.
