Spire.PDF Erorr "Namespace prefix xr2 ... not defined"

Wed Apr 18, 2018 6:12 am

After the Excel 2016 Update some of the templates i use get corrupted (can't be opened in Excel) after opening and saving with Free Spire.XLS v8.3.0.61040. Also there is same error while saving xls to pdf with Spire.PDF.

The same files saved with Excel before the update work perfectly but once they are saved with the latest version i cant use them with Spire.XLS. The error i get from Excel and an XML tool when i try to open them is:
Namespace prefix xr2 for uid on sparklineGroup is not defined

It seems like some schema changed and it is no longer compatible with what Spire.XLS is doing. There are no xr2 namspaces in old excel files.

Ok. Pro version with latest hotfixes work fine.
How long to wait for these hotfixes for the free version?

Thanks.
