Summary

  • paginate overflowing text across horizontal pages for simple single-column XLSX sheets
  • reuse the PDF Helvetica width table for deterministic fitting
  • keep existing behavior for fit-to-width, merged, image, wrapped, numeric, right-aligned, stacked, and RTL sheets
  • add a focused regression test for the 12-page classic09_long_text layout

Validation

  • cargo fmt --check
  • cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings
  • cargo test --workspace — 110 passed
  • focused classic09_long_text benchmark: 1/12 pages and 0.2208 overall → 12/12 pages and 0.9057 overall
  • full classic XLSX benchmark: 191/191 cases, average 0.9025 → 0.9061, no visual regression greater than 0.002, only classic09_long_text changed page count

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added horizontal pagination for overflowing text in eligible single-column spreadsheet exports.
    • Long text is split across multiple pages when fit-to-width is not enabled, preserving readability.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved XLSX-to-PDF rendering for wide text content by preventing it from being clipped or extending beyond page boundaries.

Walkthrough

XLSX rendering now paginates oversized text horizontally for eligible single-column sheets. The renderer measures text with Helvetica glyph widths, renders slices as separate PDF pages, preserves existing behavior for unsupported layouts, and adds regression coverage.

XLSX horizontal pagination

Layer / File(s) Summary
Width measurement setup
minipdf-rs/crates/minipdf/src/pdf.rs, minipdf-rs/crates/minipdf/src/xlsx.rs
helvetica_glyph_width is crate-visible. XLSX rendering imports it and adds the CALIBRI_FITTING_SCALE calibration constant.
Conditional sheet pagination
minipdf-rs/crates/minipdf/src/xlsx.rs
Eligible single-column sheets split oversized text into width-constrained slices and render each slice as a separate PDF page. Sheets with unsupported layout features use the existing rendering path. A regression test verifies 12 pages for long text.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 465e8

Centered, offset, or indented single-column sheets can lose part of long text in the generated PDF, so the width calculation should be corrected before merge.

Pull request overview

Fixes horizontal pagination for long text in simple single-column Rust XLSX sheets.

Changes:

  • Splits overflowing text across horizontal pages.
  • Reuses PDF Helvetica glyph metrics for fitting.
  • Adds regression coverage for the 12-page layout.
File summaries
File Summary
minipdf-rs/crates/minipdf/src/xlsx.rs Implements pagination and regression coverage. Final comments identify three moderate issues and one nit concerning content-origin bounds, printer fallback scaling, quadratic fitting cost, and direct text-preservation assertions.
minipdf-rs/crates/minipdf/src/pdf.rs Exposes shared Helvetica glyph-width metrics. No final review comments.

  • chunk.chars().count() and excel_fitting_text_width(&chunk, ...) rescan the whole chunk on every input character, making each long cell O(n²). Since this path is specifically for long text, a large cell value can make conversion disproportionately slow. Track the accumulated width as characters are appended instead.
    for character in text.chars() {
        chunk.push(character);
        if chunk.chars().count() > 1
            && excel_fitting_text_width(&chunk, font_size, style.bold) > max_width

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Calculate the slice width from the rendered text origin.

single_column_text_pages accepts horizontally centered sheets, print-title offsets, and cells with indentation. It always budgets page_size.width - sheet.page_setup.margin_left. render_sheet can set content_left to the right of margin_left, and render_xlsx_row places left-aligned text at content_left + 3.0 or content_left + indent_width.

When the chunk width falls between that origin and the page edge, the chunk is emitted beyond the page boundary. The one-column path does not add a protective text clip because text_overflow_region reports overflow_is_blocked == false. The next page uses the next complete chunk, so the clipped characters are omitted.

Compute the available width from each cell's rendered text origin, including content_left and the leading padding or indentation. Otherwise, exclude sheets or cells whose rendered origin is not covered by the pagination budget.
