Converting Excel files with Groupdocs Version 26.1 doesn't work

GroupDocs.Conversion Product Family

Hello,
We are using Groupdocs with JAVA for converting office documents on Windows within a web application. We are encountering an error when trying convert excel files with Ver. 26.1. None of them can be converted. Using Groupdocs Version 25.12 ist works.

Based on your description, here is a likely technical approach for Aspose.Conversion.

In version 26.1 the Excel‑to‑PDF (or other) conversion pipeline was updated to use the new ExcelConversionOptions class, and it now requires the optional GroupDocs.Conversion.Native package (or a compatible Office installation) to be present on the machine. A quick way to verify the setup is to run a minimal conversion with the default options:

import com.groupdocs.conversion.Converter;
import com.groupdocs.conversion.options.convert.ExcelConversionOptions;
import com.groupdocs.conversion.options.load.LoadOptions;

try (Converter converter = new Converter("sample.xlsx")) {
    ExcelConversionOptions options = new ExcelConversionOptions();
    converter.convert("sample.pdf", options);
}

If the native dependencies are missing, the call will throw an exception indicating that the Excel engine could not be loaded.

Please let me know:

  1. What exact exception message or stack trace do you receive when the conversion fails?
  2. Are you using any custom LoadOptions/ConversionOptions or relying on the default settings, and is the GroupDocs.Conversion.Native (or a full Office suite) installed on the server?

I have the requested information in a zip file. But as I tried to upload it, the web site gives an error.
