Directly Converting Excel Files to Pdf with Aspose.Cells

You will utilize the overloaded Save method of the Workbook class providing the SaveFormat.Pdf enum member that converts the native excel file to pdf format.

Cell.Style property vs Cell.GetStyle/SetStyle method

Since v4.4.2, we add two new methods to format a cell: Cell.GetStyle method and Cell.SetStyle method. 

So now you can use the following two ways to format a cell:

1. use Cell.Style property

[C#]

cell.Style.Font.IsBold = true;

[VB.NET]

cell.Style.Font.IsBold = True

 2. use Cell.GetStyle and Cell.SetStyle method

[C#]

Style style = cell.GetStyle();

style.Font.IsBold = True
cell.SetStyle(style)

You can see that the first approach is easy and straight-forward. So why … Continue Reading
