Answer 1

Try to create template file in MSO and then open it with exceljs. As for me, this trick usually works fine.

Answer 2

I also have problems like you. Using a template XLSX file-> fill content with exceljs nodejs -> convert to PDF file with libreOffice. But it cannot display all sheets.

exceljs: Add new sheet then default is { state: 'hidden' }

I have found the cause:

var sheet2 = workbook.addWorksheet('S2',{state: 'visible'});
