Control loading of External Resources in MS Excel Workbook while rendering to PDF

Possible Usage Scenarios

Your Excel file may contain external resources e.g. linked images or objects. When you convert your Excel file to PDF, Aspose.Cells retrieves these external resources and renders them to PDF. But sometimes, you do not want to load these external resources and more than that, you want to manipulate them. You can do this using PdfSaveOptions.StreamProvider which implements the IStreamProvider interface.
