SpreadProcessing: Add support for inserting images in header/footer

Provide the ability to work with images in headers/footers of a worksheet. Note that large images put in headers are visualized as watermarks on printing/exporting to PDF.

Hello Kevin,

Currently, the SpreadProcessing library does not yet support inserting images into the header or footer of a worksheet, nor does it preserve images placed in header/footer sections when importing XLSX files. Images in headers/footers are skipped during import.

You can, however, add images directly to worksheet cells using the Shapes and Images API (except headers/footers).

If you are interested in this feature, I can only suggest you cast your vote for this public task and track its progress by subscribing to it.

Thank you for your patience.

Regards,

Hello Sunil,

I understand how valuable this feature is to you, and I apologize for any setbacks its absence might be causing you. As of now, there is no information or plans regarding the implementation of this feature, and I wouldn't want to mislead you either by giving you a false availability date.

Our development priorities are influenced by several factors, including user demand, task complexity, and available resources. While we strive to accommodate all feature requests, some may take longer to implement, such as this one. Currently, we don’t have a timeline for its rollout.

That said, I’ve proactively escalated your request to our development team for reevaluation and updated estimates. Please note that while I’ve done my best to advocate for this feature, I’m not in a position to make any guarantees regarding its implementation.

Thank you for your understanding.

Regards,
