Summary

  • register and prefer the Office cloud STKaiti font for 华文楷体 while retaining SimKai fallback
  • avoid reusing a font run for punctuation or whitespace when that font lacks the glyph
  • calibrate horizontally and vertically centered legacy VML/EMF image geometry against Microsoft 365 output

Microsoft 365 is the primary visual reference; LibreOffice was regenerated and used as an auxiliary comparison.

Validation

  • cargo fmt --manifest-path minipdf-rs/Cargo.toml --all -- --check
  • cargo test --manifest-path minipdf-rs/Cargo.toml --workspace (108 passed)
  • cargo clippy --manifest-path minipdf-rs/Cargo.toml --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings
  • focused Rust issue XLSX benchmark: Issue202609031340 overall 0.9589 -> 0.9592; page 1 visual 0.9018 -> 0.9047; page count 4/4
  • 20-case first-page issue XLSX comparison: the other 19 case scores were unchanged

Generated files under artifacts/ and local reference PDFs are intentionally excluded from the commit.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Improved XLSX-to-PDF conversion with legacy drawing images, vertical page centering, stacked text, enhanced merged-cell handling, and additional date formatting.
    • Improved font selection and Windows fallback support for Chinese fonts, including KaiTi and SimSun variants.
  • Documentation

    • Expanded visual benchmark guidance for supported languages, file formats, reference applications, score requirements, and reusable candidate files.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for legacy drawing images, vertical rendering, date formatting, and Windows font fallback behavior.

Render legacy VML/EMF previews, stacked text, centered sheets, custom dates, and merged-cell continuations more faithfully; add KaiTi fallback support and prepare Rust crates 0.6.0.
Update the Node binding lockfile for minipdf 0.6.0 and its Windows GDI dependency.
Align all language benchmark entry points with the Rust benchmark contract: Microsoft 365 primary reference, LibreOffice auxiliary reference, 0.95 default score threshold, Suite/Format/MaxCases selection, SkipCandidate support, per-language artifact layout, and synchronized user/agent documentation.
Register and prefer STKaiti for 华文楷体 content, keep punctuation on fonts that contain the glyph, and calibrate centered legacy VML image geometry against the Microsoft 365 reference.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds legacy VML image support, centered-page layout, stacked text, date formatting, and CJK font handling to the Rust XLSX converter. It also standardizes cross-language visual benchmarks around shared suite-based runners, dual references, candidate reuse, and a 0.95 score threshold.

Changes

XLSX rendering support

Layer / File(s) Summary
Platform and rendering contracts
minipdf-rs/Cargo.toml, minipdf-rs/crates/minipdf/Cargo.toml, minipdf-rs/crates/minipdf-cli/Cargo.toml, minipdf-rs/crates/minipdf-cli/src/main.rs, minipdf-rs/crates/minipdf/src/xlsx.rs
The Rust package version changes to 0.6.0. Windows GDI support, CJK font registration, legacy VML state, vertical centering, stacked text, and date-format state are added.
Legacy VML image ingestion
minipdf-rs/crates/minipdf/src/xlsx.rs
The converter parses VML pictures, anchors, styles, crops, and image relationships. Windows EMF images are rasterized through GDI.
Centered pages and merge continuation layout
minipdf-rs/crates/minipdf/src/pdf.rs, minipdf-rs/crates/minipdf/src/xlsx.rs
Legacy VML images use adjusted geometry. Page content can be vertically centered. Merged cells recalculate their visible geometry after page breaks.
Text, font, and date rendering
minipdf-rs/crates/minipdf/src/pdf.rs, minipdf-rs/crates/minipdf/src/xlsx.rs
Font selection handles CJK aliases and unsupported punctuation. Stacked text renders in vertical columns. Kaiti fallback and yyyy-mm-dd formatting are supported. Tests cover VML parsing, centered setup, stacked text, fonts, dates, and merged-cell continuation.

Visual benchmark workflow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shared benchmark runner
scripts/Invoke-LanguageVisualBenchmark.ps1
The runner selects suite-format fixtures, builds candidates, generates Microsoft 365 and LibreOffice references, compares outputs, and enforces auxiliary-reference presence and the 0.95 minimum score.
Language runner entrypoints
scripts/Run-Rust-Benchmark.ps1, scripts/Run-Rust-Benchmark-Matrix.ps1
The Rust runner forwards arguments to the shared runner. The matrix runner uses a 0.95 default minimum score.
Benchmark documentation
AGENTS.md, minipdf-rs/README.md, tests/MiniPdf.Benchmark/README.md
Documentation describes suite and format selection, dual references, artifact paths, candidate reuse, prerequisites, and failure conditions.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 1cfd8

Default benchmark runs can fail on current cases, and multi-page spreadsheets can render legacy images on the wrong page. These regressions should be fixed before merge.

🟡 Changes recommended

scripts/Run-Rust-Benchmark.ps1 currently rejects named parameters due to an empty param() block, and render_xlsx_row can incorrectly skip merged-cell continuation rendering even when borders should be drawn.

Pull request overview

This PR improves Rust XLSX rendering parity with Microsoft 365 by refining font selection (especially for Kaiti family fonts), preventing font-run reuse when punctuation/whitespace glyphs are missing, and recalibrating centered legacy VML/EMF image and page geometry. It also refactors Rust visual benchmark scripts to use the shared cross-language visual benchmark runner with Microsoft 365 as the primary scored reference and LibreOffice as a required auxiliary reference.

Changes:

  • Add legacy VML image extraction (including optional Windows EMF rasterization) and adjust centered VML scaling/offset logic to better match Microsoft 365.
  • Improve XLSX text rendering: support stacked text rotation, add an additional date format, and refine preferred-font mapping for 华文楷体 / STKaiti with SimKai fallback behavior.
  • Consolidate Rust benchmark execution through Invoke-LanguageVisualBenchmark.ps1 and update docs/tooling defaults (including minimum score threshold).

Place foreground legacy VML images on their anchor page.

The foreground-image loop always adds each legacy VML image to doc.page_mut(first_page_index), while top includes rows from all preceding pages. A legacy VML image anchored after an automatic page break can therefore render off-page on page 1. Place the image on the page containing its anchor row. Add a multi-page regression fixture; the current VML fixtures anchor their images before the first break.

Do not use 0.95 as the shared MinimumScore default. Run-All-Language-VisualBenchmarks.ps1 passes no override, so the shared runner applies 0.95 to Rust. The current selected Rust reports include overall scores of 0.906, 0.9246, 0.5, and 0.2208; the runner therefore throws for those cases. Keep the shared default at 0, and pass -MinimumScore 0.95 only from entry points whose complete selected results meet that threshold.
