PCL File is Digital printed document created in the Printer Command Language (more commonly referred to as PCL) page description language. From v7.1.19, Spire.Doc supports to convert word document to PCL. There are many kinds of standard for PCL document; the PCL here refers to PCL 6 (PCL 6 Enhanced or PCL XL). This article will show you how to save word document to PCL in C# and VB.NET by only three lines of codes.
using Spire.Doc;
namespace DOCPCL
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
//load the sample document
Document doc = new Document();
doc.LoadFromFile("Sample.docx", FileFormat.Docx2010);
//save the document as a PCL file
doc.SaveToFile("Result.pcl", FileFormat.PCL);
}
}
}
Imports Spire.Doc
Namespace DOCPCL
Class Program
Private Shared Sub Main(args As String())
'load the sample document
Dim doc As New Document()
doc.LoadFromFile("Sample.docx", FileFormat.Docx2010)
'save the document as a PCL file
doc.SaveToFile("Result.pcl", FileFormat.PCL)

The slide master in PowerPoint preserves some fixed styles, such as background image, title and theme color, which can be inherited by other slides. This article demonstrates how to customize the slide masters in a PowerPoint file and apply them to different slides using Spire.Presentation for Java.

Shrink to fit is a useful option in Excel, it enables us to automatically reduce the font size in a cell until the text fits within the cell. This article demonstrates how to accomplish the same functionality programmatically in C# using Spire.XLS.
Below is the screenshot of the input Excel file:

Detail steps:
Step 1: Instantiate a Workbook object and load the Excel file.
Workbook workbook = new Workbook(); workbook.LoadFromFile(@"Input.xlsx");
Step 2: Get the first worksheet.
Worksheet sheet = workbook.Worksheets[0];
Step 3: Specify the cell range to shrink text.
CellRange cell = sheet.Range["A1:E3"];
Step 4: Enable ShrinkToFit.
CellStyle style = cell.Style; style.ShrinkToFit = true;
Step 5: Save the file.
workbook.SaveToFile("ShrinkTextToFitCell.xlsx", ExcelVersion.Version2013);
Output:

Full code:
using Spire.Xls;
namespace ShrinkText
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
//Load the Excel file
Workbook workbook = new Workbook();
workbook.LoadFromFile(@"Input.xlsx");
//Get the first worksheet
Worksheet sheet = workbook.Worksheets[0];
//The cell range to shrink text
CellRange cell = sheet.Range["A1:E3"];
//Enable ShrinkToFit
CellStyle style = cell.Style;
style.ShrinkToFit = true;
//Save the file
workbook.SaveToFile("ShrinkTextToFitCell.xlsx", ExcelVersion.Version2013);
}
}
