How to avoid the Wrap Text issue in Excel to PDF conversion
Syncfusion XlsIO converts Excel documents with wrap text set in Excel cells to PDF properly. But there is an unique case in which the wrap text is set in the cell but the row height is not serialized in XML.
Microsoft Excel can automatically reset the row height during Excel to PDF conversion. But Syncfusion XlsIO cannot do this automatically.
Calling the AutofitRows method of IRange interface before loading the workbook to ExcelToPdfConverter would auto-fit the row height of cells, before being converted to PDF document.
The following complete code snippet explains this.
C#
using (ExcelEngine excelEngine = new ExcelEngine())
{
IApplication application = excelEngine.Excel;
application.DefaultVersion = ExcelVersion.Excel2016;
IWorkbook workbook = application.Workbooks.Open("../../Data/Template.xlsx");
IWorksheet worksheet = workbook.Worksheets[0];
//Autofit Rows
worksheet.UsedRange.AutofitRows();
ExcelToPdfConverter converter = new ExcelToPdfConverter(workbook);
PdfDocument document = converter.Convert();
document.Save("Output.pdf");
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("Output.pdf");
}
VB.NET
Using excelEngine As ExcelEngine = New ExcelEngine
Dim application As IApplication = excelEngine.Excel
application.DefaultVersion = ExcelVersion.Excel2016
Dim workbook As IWorkbook = application.Workbooks.Open("../../Data/Template.xlsx")
Dim worksheet As IWorksheet = workbook.Worksheets(0)
'Autofit Rows
worksheet.UsedRange.AutofitRows()
Dim converter As ExcelToPdfConverter = New ExcelToPdfConverter(workbook)
Dim document As PdfDocument = converter.Convert()
document.Save("Output.pdf")
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("Output.pdf")
End Using
