What is new in this release?

Aspose development team is pleased to announce the new release of Aspose.Cells for .NET 17.5.0. This release includes many new features and enhancements along with some critical bug fixes that further improve the overall stability of the API. Aspose.Cells now allows users to create PDF with PDF/A-1a – Level A (accessible) conformance. It already supports PDF/A-1b – Level B (basic) conformance. The code snippet on blog announcement page demonstrates how to convert an Excel file to PDF compatible with PDFA-1a. Sometimes developers want to remove existing Printer Settings in Excel file. These settings are found inside the “[file “root”]xlprinterSettings” folder in the form of .bin files. Aspose.Cells can remove existing printer settings in the Excel workbook. There is no direct option available to create custom paper sizes in MS Excel, however users can set custom paper size of a desired worksheets when rendering Excel file to PDF file format. Using Aspose.Cells APIs, developers can fill a DataTable with corresponding HTML strings (based on cells values) while exporting worksheet data. A documention page is provided that explains how to export HTML strings for the formatted cells data to fill a DataTable using Aspose.Cells APIs. If you want to use SQL Server or StateServer to hold sessions, use GridWeb Session Mode. The GridWeb control now supports serializing its data to SQL Server or StateServer. Earlier, Aspose.Cells does not shift first row down when inserting rows. But for some users’ requirements, it has supported this feature now. When developers copy worksheet into another worksheet, then page setup settings of the source worksheet are not copied to destination worksheet.
