Avoid Blank Page in Output PDF when there is Nothing to Print

Possible Usage Scenarios

When the Excel file is empty and the user saves it to PDF using Aspose.Cells, it renders a blank page in output PDF. Sometimes, this default behavior is undesirable. Aspose.Cells provides the PdfSaveOptions.OutputBlankPageWhenNothingToPrint property to deal with this issue. If you will set it as false, then CellsException will occur whenever there is nothing to print in the output PDF.

Avoid Blank Page in Output PDF when there is Nothing to Print

The following sample code creates an empty workbook and then saves it as output PDF after setting the PdfSaveOptions.OutputBlankPageWhenNothingToPrint property as false. Since there is nothing to print in the output PDF, the CellsException occurs as shown below.

Sample Code
