FAQs
Below are some common questions about Tasqize MPP to PDF.
General Questions
1. What is Tasqize MPP to PDF?
Tasqize MPP to PDF is a .NET SDK that converts Microsoft Project (MPP) files into PDF documents. It provides fine-grained customization of the exported PDF layout, including text styles, timescale views, and presentation formats (e.g. GanttChart, ResourceSheet).
2. How do I install Tasqize MPP to PDF?
You can install the Tasqize package via NuGet. Refer to our Installation Guide for more details.
3. Can I control the timescale in the exported PDF?
Yes. Use PdfSaveOptions.Timescale to choose between Days, Weeks, Months, etc. This determines the level of detail shown along the project timeline.
4. How do I apply custom text styles?
Create a list of TextStyle objects, each defining properties like Color, FontStyle, and the specific TextItemType (for example, milestones, critical tasks). Assign this list to PdfSaveOptions.TextStyles before calling ConvertToPdf.
5. Is Microsoft Project required on the machine?
No. Tasqize MPP to PDF operates independently, though it internally references Aspose libraries to parse MPP files. Microsoft Project itself is not needed.
6. How do I set my license key?
Use the License class:
var license = new Tasqize.License();
license.SetLicense("path/to/your.lic");Do this once at application startup to remove evaluation watermarks and unlock the full functionality.

Please refer to our Developers Guide for in-depth code snippets on advanced usage, including resource sheets, Gantt charts, and time-phased data.
