Print Comments while saving to PDF

The following sample code illustrates how to use PrintCommentsType to print comments while saving to PDF.

#include <iostream>
#include "Aspose.Cells.h"

using namespace Aspose::Cells;

int main()
{
    Aspose::Cells::Startup();

    // Source directory path
    U16String srcDir(u"..\\Data\\01_SourceDirectory\\");

    // Output directory path
    U16String outDir(u"..\\Data\\02_OutputDirectory\\");

    // Path of input excel file
    U16String inputFilePath = srcDir + u"SampleWorkbookWithComments.xlsx";

    // Path of output pdf file
    U16String outputFilePath = outDir + u"PrintCommentWhileSavingToPdf_out.pdf";

    // Create a workbook from source Excel file
    Workbook workbook(inputFilePath);

    // Access first worksheet
    Worksheet worksheet = workbook.GetWorksheets().Get(0);

    /*
     * To print no comments, use PrintCommentsType::PrintNoComments.
     * To print the comments as displayed on the sheet, use PrintCommentsType::PrintInPlace.
     * To print the comments at the end of the sheet, use PrintCommentsType::PrintSheetEnd.
    */
    worksheet.GetPageSetup().SetPrintComments(PrintCommentsType::PrintSheetEnd);

    // Save workbook in pdf format
    workbook.Save(outputFilePath, SaveFormat::Pdf);

    std::cout << "Workbook saved successfully with comments printed at the end of the sheet!" << std::endl;

    Aspose::Cells::Cleanup();
