Strange behaviour with XLSX files generated by Adobe Acrobat X
« on: December 12, 2019, 09:02:19 am »
Hi,

I've just noticed that XLSX files generated by Adobe Acrobat X contain color value strings (??) that are already preceded by a #. Now, TsSpreadOOXMLReader.ReadColor does add another # to the beginning of this string when calling HTMLColorStrToColor, resulting in strtoint in HTMLColorStrToColor failing with an EConvertError.

My dowdy workaround was to start HTMLColorStrToColor with a check for this:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1. if pos ( '##' , avalue ) = 1 then delete ( avalue , 1 , 1 ) ;

Attached please find a sample.xlsx that should allow to reproduce that behaviour.

Regards

Heribert

Could you please add the attachment? And can Adobe also create an OpenDocument file (.ods)? Send such a file, too. Maybe there is the same issue...

Pack both files into a common zip which is accepted by the forum software.

Please test r7207. It reads a file correctly which I manipulated to have a # at the beginning of a color string. Interestingly Excel itself does not show this color correctly.
