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 for Python via .NET, it renders a blank page in output PDF. Sometimes, this default behavior is undesirable. Aspose.Cells for Python via .NET provides the PdfSaveOptions.output_blank_page_when_nothing_to_print 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 PDF after setting the PdfSaveOptions.output_blank_page_when_nothing_to_print property as false. Since there is nothing to print in the output PDF, the CellsException occurs as shown below.
