Render Solid Gridline while converting Excel to PDF with Node.js via C++

Contents
[ ]

For compatibility with older versions, Aspose.Cells renders gridlines as dotted lines by default while converting Excel to PDF. However, modern Excel renders gridlines as solid lines today.

With option PdfSaveOptions.gridlineTypes, Aspose.Cells for Node.js via C++ can also render gridlines as solid lines.

const path = require("path");
const AsposeCells = require("aspose.cells.node");

// The path to the documents directory.
const dataDir = path.join(__dirname, "data");
const filePath = path.join(dataDir, "sample.xlsx");
// Loads the workbook which contains hidden external links
const workbook = new AsposeCells.Workbook(filePath);

// Create an empty Workbook
const wb = new AsposeCells.Workbook();

// Prepare data
wb.getWorksheets().get(0).getCells().get("D9").putValue("gridline");

// Enable printing of gridlines
wb.getWorksheets().get(0).getPageSetup().setPrintGridlines(true);

// Set to render gridlines as solid lines
const pdfSaveOptions = new AsposeCells.PdfSaveOptions();
pdfSaveOptions.setGridlineType(AsposeCells.GridlineType.Hair);

// Save the PDF file with PdfSaveOptions
wb.save(path.join(dataDir, "test_Cs.pdf"), pdfSaveOptions);
