Saving a Project as a PDF
The Project class exposes the Save method which is used to save a project in various formats. The Save method allows you to render project data to PDF using the SaveFileFormat enumeration type.
To save a project to PDF:
- Load a Microsoft Project file.
- Save the project to PDF using SaveFileFormat.PDF.
The following lines of code show how to achieve this.
Supported Graphical Column Indicators
Aspose.Tasks draw graphical column indicators while rendering project data to PDF. The following are the graphical indicators supported by Aspose.Tasks.
| Indicator Type | Graphical Representation |
|---|---|
| Task Indicators |  |
| Resource Indicators |  |
| Assignment Indicators |  |
Saving to Multiple PDF Files
To save the project data to multiple PDF files, set the SaveToSeparateFiles flag to true.
Customizing TextStyle for Project Data
Aspose.Tasks allows you to customize the text style for overallocated resources. By default, the style for overallocated resources is similar to Microsoft Project (MSP), that is, it is red and bold. TextItemType.OverallocatedResources enables you to customize the color and style for overallocated resources. The example below shows how.
Customizing Date Format
Aspose.Tasks give developers control over date formatting when rendering project data to output. The following example shows how to use the DateFormat enumerator to specify the date format.
Project project = new Project();
Date date = new Date();
project.setStartDate(date);
// By default project.DateFormat == DateFormat.Date_ddd_mm_dd_yy (Mon 09/22/14)
// customize DateFormat (September 22, 2014)
project.setDateFormat(DateFormat.Date_mmmm_dd_yyyy);
project.save("saved.pdf", SaveFileFormat.PDF);
//Export to date format 19/07/2016
project.setDateFormat(DateFormat.DateDdMmYyyy);
project.save("p2.pdf", SaveFileFormat.PDF);
