Render empty XLSX cells when converting to PNG in .NET

GroupDocs.Viewer Product Family
#1

I was wondering if it is somehow possible to render empty spreadsheet cells when creating a PNG.
We are using GroupDocs Viewer to create a thumbnail of the attached XLSX and expected something close to A4 format regarding width to height aspect ratio, but the output is a very long thumbnail.

It also only renders the first cell without overlapping the contained text to the next empty cells, which makes it worse.
For GroupDocs Conversion we are using “SkipEmptyRowsAndColumns = false” in the spreadsheet load options to render empty cells.
Is there something similar or another way to improve the thumbnail generation with the Viewer?
I also attempted to add this to our options, but since empty cells are not rendered, it did not change anything:
SpreadsheetOptions = SpreadsheetOptions.ForSplitSheetIntoPages(60, 40)

Our current options:

    var options = new PngViewOptions(sOutputFile)
    {
        Width = 256,
    };

Please have a look at this image.png (5.5 KB). All the 15 columns are rendered and the text is overlapping the next cell if it is empty. This is the output from API version 20.10 that is expected to be released soon. We’ll notify you as release gets onboard.
