## Complete Source Code
## Introduction
In project management, customizing views can significantly enhance the clarity and efficiency of managing tasks and resources. Aspose.Tasks for Java provides powerful tools to create custom views tailored to specific project requirements. In this tutorial, we'll explore how to create custom MS Project views using Aspose.Tasks for Java, step by step.
## Prerequisites
Before we begin, ensure you have the following prerequisites:
### Java Development Environment
Make sure you have Java installed on your system.
### Aspose.Tasks for Java
Download and install Aspose.Tasks for Java from [here](https://releases.aspose.com/tasks/java/).
## Import Packages
First, import the necessary packages to your Java project:
```java

public static void main(String[] args) {
// The path to the documents directory.
String dataDir = "Your Data Directory";

modifyViewAddColumn(dataDir);

workWithView(dataDir);

// Display result of conversion.
System.out.println("Process completed Successfully");
}

public static void modifyViewAddColumn(String dataDir)
{
// Shows how to work with Project's view and add column to the default view (which is shown when MPP file is opened in MS Project).

// Create an empty project without views
Project project = new Project();
project.set(Prj.NAME, "Test View Project");

// Modify the default view (it's a Gantt chart view).
// Or you can select view by name or by View Screen using project.View collection.
GanttChartView view = (GanttChartView) project.getDefaultView();

TableField newColumn = new TableField();
newColumn.setAlignData(HorizontalStringAlignment.Center);
newColumn.setTitle("My new column");
newColumn.setWidth(30);
newColumn.setField(Field.TaskActualDuration);

view.getTable().getTableFields().add(newColumn);

// WriteViewData flag should be used to persist modifications of view's properties.

}

{
// Shows how to work with MS Project views.

// Create an empty project without views

project.set(Prj.NAME, "Test View Project");

// Create a standard Gantt chart view
View view = new GanttChartView();

// Set some view properties
// Set a value indicating whether Microsoft Project shows the single view name in the View or the Other Views drop-down lists in the Ribbon
view.setShowInMenu(true);
// Set a value indicating whether Microsoft Project highlights the filter for a single view
view.setHighlightFilter(true);

// The writing of the next properties is not supported
// Sets the filter used in a single view
view.setFilter(null);
// Sets the group of the single view
view.setGroup(null);
// Sets the table of the single view
view.setTable(null);

// Let's tune some view settings
// Set the number of first columns to be printed on all pages
view.getPageInfo().getPageViewSettings().setFirstColumnsCount(4);
// Set a value indicating whether to print a specified number of first columns on all pages
view.getPageInfo().getPageViewSettings().setPrintFirstColumnsCountOnAllPages(true);

// Add the view to our project
project.getViews().add(view);

// WriteViewData flag should be used to persist modifications of project.Views.
MPPSaveOptions options = new MPPSaveOptions();
options.setWriteViewData(true);
project.save(dataDir + "workWithView_output.mpp", options);
// Let's check some properties of the newly added view
// Print the unique identifier of a view
System.out.println("View Uid: " + view.getUid());
// Print the screen type for the single view
System.out.println("View Screen: " + view.getScreen());
System.out.println("View Type: " + view.getType());
System.out.println("Parent Project of the view: " + view.getParentProject().get(Prj.NAME));
}
}

```
Now, let's break down the example into multiple steps:
## Step 1: Set Up Project
```java
// The path to the documents directory.
String dataDir = "Your Data Directory";
// Create an empty project without views
Project project = new Project();
project.set(Prj.NAME, "Test View Project");
```
## Step 2: Create View
```java
// Create a standard Gantt chart view
View view = new GanttChartView();
```
## Step 3: Customize View Properties
```java
// Set some view properties
view.setShowInMenu(true); // Indicate whether to show the view in the menu
view.setHighlightFilter(true); // Indicate whether to highlight the filter for the view
```
## Step 4: Tune View Settings
```java
// Tune some view settings
view.getPageInfo().getPageViewSettings().setFirstColumnsCount(4); // Set the number of first columns to print on all pages
view.getPageInfo().getPageViewSettings().setPrintFirstColumnsCountOnAllPages(true); // Indicate whether to print specified number of first columns on all pages
```
## Step 5: Add View to Project
```java
// Add the view to our project
project.getViews().add(view);
```
## Step 6: Save Project
```java
// Save the project with the created view
MPPSaveOptions options = new MPPSaveOptions();
options.setWriteViewData(true); // Use WriteViewData flag to persist modifications of project.Views
project.save(dataDir + "workWithView_output.mpp", options);
```
## Step 7: Check View Properties
```java
// Check properties of the newly added view
System.out.println("View Uid: " + view.getUid()); // Print the unique identifier of the view
System.out.println("View Screen: " + view.getScreen()); // Print the screen type for the view
System.out.println("View Type: " + view.getType()); // Print the type of the view
System.out.println("Parent Project of the view: " + view.getParentProject().get(Prj.NAME)); // Print the parent project of the view
```

## Step 1: Provide the Path to Your Data Directory
```java
String dataDir = "Your Data Directory";
```
Make sure to replace `"Your Data Directory"` with the path to your actual data directory where your Microsoft Project file (`HomeMovePlan.mpp` in this example) is located.
## Step 2: Read the MPP File
```java
Project project = new Project(dataDir + "HomeMovePlan.mpp");
```
This line of code reads the Microsoft Project file named `HomeMovePlan.mpp`.
## Step 3: Set ImageSaveOptions
```java
ImageSaveOptions imageSaveOptions = new ImageSaveOptions(SaveFileFormat.Png);
imageSaveOptions.setReduceFooterGap(true);
imageSaveOptions.setRenderToSinglePage(false);
imageSaveOptions.setPageSize(PageSize.A0);
imageSaveOptions.setTimescale(Timescale.Days);
```
Configure the image saving options, setting `ReduceFooterGap` to `true` to reduce the gap between the task list and footer.
## Step 4: Save as Image
```java
project.save(dataDir + "ReducingGapBetweenTasksListAndFooter_out.png", (SaveOptions) imageSaveOptions);
```
Save the project as an image with the configured options.
## Step 5: Set PdfSaveOptions
```java
PdfSaveOptions pdfSaveOptions = new PdfSaveOptions();
pdfSaveOptions.setReduceFooterGap(true);
pdfSaveOptions.setSaveToSeparateFiles(true);
pdfSaveOptions.setPageSize(PageSize.A0);
pdfSaveOptions.setTimescale(Timescale.Days);
```
Define PDF saving options, ensuring to set `ReduceFooterGap` to `true`.
## Step 6: Save as PDF
```java
project.save(dataDir + "ReducingGapBetweenTasksListAndFooter_out.pdf", (SaveOptions) pdfSaveOptions);
```
Save the project as a PDF with the configured options.
## Step 7: Set HtmlSaveOptions
```java
HtmlSaveOptions htmlSaveOptions = new HtmlSaveOptions();
htmlSaveOptions.setReduceFooterGap(true); // set to true
htmlSaveOptions.setIncludeProjectNameInPageHeader(false);
htmlSaveOptions.setIncludeProjectNameInTitle(false);
htmlSaveOptions.setPageSize(PageSize.A0);
htmlSaveOptions.setTimescale(Timescale.Days);
```
Specify HTML saving options, setting `ReduceFooterGap` to `true`.
## Step 8: Save as HTML
```java
project.save(dataDir + "ReducingGapBetweenTasksListAndFooter_out.html", htmlSaveOptions);
```
Save the project as an HTML file with the configured options.

## Conclusion
In conclusion, reducing the gap between the task list and footer in Microsoft Project files is a straightforward process with Aspose.Tasks for Java. By following the steps outlined in this tutorial, you can efficiently optimize the layout of your project documents.
