Workbook workbook = new Workbook();

workbook.save("c\\test.pdf", FileFormatType.PDF);

Hi Dheeraj,

This issue is because of missing fonts. There are different fonts used in the excel file. Those fonts are missing in Solaris environment. This issue can be removed by copying all needed fonts file from Windows operating system to Solaris operating system and then setting the font path in the code.

Following line of code can be used to set the font path:

Workbook.getSaveOption().setFontPath(String[])

Thanks,

Hi Shakeel,

Thanks for quick response.

Workbook.getSaveOption().setFontPath(String[]) , what should pass in the String array. it is font locations in String array? Where can i download the Microsftfonts or how can i move it from windows to Solaris. This is very urgent. I have to show the demo to clients today.

Hi Dheeraj,

Using some portable device, simple copy the font files from Windows operating system i.e. “C:\WINDOWS\Fonts\” to Linux operating system on path “/home/usr/test/winfont”.

Now pass this path as string to method mentioned below:

Workbook.getSaveOptions().setFontPath(new String[]{"/home/usr/test/winfont"});

Thanks,

Hi Dheeraj,

Please use the updated version Aspose.CellsV2.4.0.1.zip attached. The enhancement has been made that if the needed font files are not found while generting the PDF, the default font files of JRE will be used. We hope that this will fit into your requirment.

Thanks,
