Configuring page setup is essential for preparing Excel documents for printing or PDF export. Spire.XLS for JavaScript runs entirely in the browser via WebAssembly, using a virtual file system (VFS) to manage input and output files — no backend server required. It provides comprehensive page setup capabilities through the PageSetup object, allowing you to control margins, orientation, paper size, print area, zoom scaling, and fit-to-page options.

The PageSetup object in Spire.XLS offers a rich set of properties for controlling how a worksheet is printed or displayed. Key properties include:

This article covers six core features:

• Adjust Excel Page Margins
• Adjust Excel Page Orientation
• Adjust Excel Paper Size
• Adjust Excel Print Area
• Adjust Excel Zoom Scale
• Fit Excel Table to 1 Page

For installation and project setup, refer to Integrating Spire.XLS for JavaScript in a React Project. The examples below assume Spire.XLS is installed and the WebAssembly module is initialized.

Adjust Excel Page Margins

Page margins define the blank space around the edges of a printed worksheet. The steps are as follows:

• Create a Workbook object using new xlsModule.Workbook().
• Get the default worksheet using the workbook.Worksheets.get(index) method.
• Access the PageSetup object through sheet.PageSetup.
• Set page margins using the TopMargin, BottomMargin, LeftMargin, and RightMargin properties.
• Save the workbook to an Excel file using the workbook.SaveToFile() method.

Below is a complete code example demonstrating how to adjust page margins in React:

function App() {
  const adjustPageMargins = async () => {
    // Get the Spire.XLS WASM module
    const xlsModule = window.wasmModule?.spirexls;

    // Check if the module is ready
    if (!xlsModule) {
      alert('Spire.Xls is not ready yet');
      return;
    }

    // Create a workbook and load the existing file
    await window.spire.FetchFileToVFS('Sample.xlsx', '', `${process.env.PUBLIC_URL}data/`);

    const workbook = new xlsModule.Workbook();
    workbook.LoadFromFile({ fileName: 'Sample.xlsx' });
    const sheet = workbook.Worksheets.get(0);

    // Get the PageSetup object
    const pageSetup = sheet.PageSetup;

    // Set the top, bottom, left, right, header, and footer margins
    pageSetup.TopMargin = 1;
    pageSetup.BottomMargin = 1;
    pageSetup.LeftMargin = 0.75;
    pageSetup.RightMargin = 0.75;

    // Save the workbook
    const outputFileName = 'AdjustMargins.xlsx';
    workbook.SaveToFile(outputFileName);
    workbook.Dispose();

    // Read the file from VFS and trigger download
    const fileArray = window.dotnetRuntime.Module.FS.readFile(outputFileName);
    const blob = new Blob([fileArray], { type: 'application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet' });
    const url = URL.createObjectURL(blob);
    const a = document.createElement('a');
    a.href = url;
    a.download = outputFileName;
    a.click();
    URL.revokeObjectURL(url);
  };

  return (
    <div style={{ textAlign: 'center', height: '300px' }}>
      <h1>Adjust Page Margins</h1>
      <button onClick={adjustPageMargins}>
        Generate
      </button>
    </div>
  );
}

export default App;

Adjust Excel Page Orientation

Page orientation determines whether a worksheet is printed in portrait (vertical) or landscape (horizontal) layout. Landscape orientation is especially useful for wide tables with many columns. The steps are as follows:

• Create a Workbook object using new xlsModule.Workbook().
• Get the default worksheet using the workbook.Worksheets.get(index) method.
• Access the PageSetup object through sheet.PageSetup.
• Set the page orientation using the Orientation property.
• Save the workbook to an Excel file using the workbook.SaveToFile() method.

Below is a complete code example demonstrating how to set the page orientation to landscape in React:

function App() {
  const setPageOrientation = async () => {
    // Get the Spire.XLS WASM module
    const xlsModule = window.wasmModule?.spirexls;

    // Check if the module is ready
    if (!xlsModule) {
      alert('Spire.Xls is not ready yet');
      return;
    }

    // Create a workbook and load the existing file
    // Load the sample file into VFS
    await window.spire.FetchFileToVFS('Sample.xlsx', '', `${process.env.PUBLIC_URL}data/`);

    const workbook = new xlsModule.Workbook();
    workbook.LoadFromFile({ fileName: 'Sample.xlsx' });
    const sheet = workbook.Worksheets.get(0);

    // Set the page orientation to Landscape
    sheet.PageSetup.Orientation = xlsModule.PageOrientationType.Landscape;

    // Save the workbook
    const outputFileName = 'SetOrientation.xlsx';
    workbook.SaveToFile(outputFileName);
    workbook.Dispose();

    // Read the file from VFS and trigger download
    const fileArray = window.dotnetRuntime.Module.FS.readFile(outputFileName);
    const blob = new Blob([fileArray], { type: 'application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet' });
    const url = URL.createObjectURL(blob);
    const a = document.createElement('a');
    a.href = url;
    a.download = outputFileName;
    a.click();
    URL.revokeObjectURL(url);
  };

  return (
    <div style={{ textAlign: 'center', height: '300px' }}>
      <h1>Set Page Orientation</h1>
      <button onClick={setPageOrientation}>
        Generate
      </button>
    </div>
  );
}

export default App;

      return;
    }

    // Create a workbook and load the existing file
    // Load the sample file into VFS
    await window.spire.FetchFileToVFS('Sample.xlsx', '', `${process.env.PUBLIC_URL}data/`);

    const workbook = new xlsModule.Workbook();
    workbook.LoadFromFile({ fileName: 'Sample.xlsx' });
    const sheet = workbook.Worksheets.get(0);

    // Get the PageSetup object
    const pageSetup = sheet.PageSetup;

    // Set the paper size to A3
    pageSetup.PaperSize = xlsModule.PaperSizeType.PaperA3;

    // Save the workbook
    const outputFileName = 'SetPaperSize.xlsx';
    workbook.SaveToFile(outputFileName);
    workbook.Dispose();

    // Read the file from VFS and trigger download
    const fileArray = window.dotnetRuntime.Module.FS.readFile(outputFileName);
    const blob = new Blob([fileArray], { type: 'application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet' });
    const url = URL.createObjectURL(blob);
    const a = document.createElement('a');
    a.href = url;
    a.download = outputFileName;
    a.click();
    URL.revokeObjectURL(url);
  };

  return (
    <div style={{ textAlign: 'center', height: '300px' }}>
      <h1>Set Paper Size</h1>

FAQ

How to print gridlines or row/column headings

Cause: By default, gridlines and row/column headings are not printed, which can make the data harder to read on paper.

Solution: Use the IsPrintGridlines and IsPrintHeadings properties of the PageSetup object:

pageSetup.IsPrintGridlines = true;
pageSetup.IsPrintHeadings = true;

How to get the actual page dimensions

Cause: You may need to know the actual width and height of the current paper size to adjust content layout.

Solution: Retrieve the values using the PageWidth and PageHeight properties of the PageSetup object:

var pageWidth = pageSetup.PageWidth;
var pageHeight = pageSetup.PageHeight;

FAQ

How to show values or percentages on pie/doughnut chart labels

Solution: Choose the appropriate label property based on your needs:

// Show value labels
cs.DataPoints.DefaultDataPoint.DataLabels.HasValue = true; // Show value labels
// Or show percentage labels
cs.DataPoints.DefaultDataPoint.DataLabels.HasPercentage = true;

Legend in the generated Excel file is truncated or not fully displayed

Cause: The chart area is too small to accommodate all legend items, or the legend position setting causes overlap with the chart data area.

Solution: Increase the vertical range of the chart or adjust the legend position:

// Increase chart height
chart.BottomRow = 35;
// Or adjust legend position
chart.Legend.Position = xlsModule.LegendPositionType.Bottom;
