30+
Now, let's break down the example into multiple steps:
31+
## Step 1: Set Up Project
32+
```java
33+
// The path to the documents directory.
34+
String dataDir = "Your Data Directory";
35+
// Create an empty project without views
36+
Project project = new Project();
37+
project.set(Prj.NAME, "Test View Project");
38+
```
39+
## Step 2: Create View
40+
```java
41+
// Create a standard Gantt chart view
42+
View view = new GanttChartView();
43+
```
44+
## Step 3: Customize View Properties
45+
```java
46+
// Set some view properties
47+
view.setShowInMenu(true); // Indicate whether to show the view in the menu
48+
view.setHighlightFilter(true); // Indicate whether to highlight the filter for the view
49+
```
50+
## Step 4: Tune View Settings
51+
```java
52+
// Tune some view settings
53+
view.getPageInfo().getPageViewSettings().setFirstColumnsCount(4); // Set the number of first columns to print on all pages
54+
view.getPageInfo().getPageViewSettings().setPrintFirstColumnsCountOnAllPages(true); // Indicate whether to print specified number of first columns on all pages
55+
```
56+
## Step 5: Add View to Project
57+
```java
58+
// Add the view to our project
59+
project.getViews().add(view);
60+
```
61+
## Step 6: Save Project
62+
```java
63+
// Save the project with the created view
64+
MPPSaveOptions options = new MPPSaveOptions();
65+
options.setWriteViewData(true); // Use WriteViewData flag to persist modifications of project.Views
66+
project.save(dataDir + "workWithView_output.mpp", options);
67+
```
68+
## Step 7: Check View Properties
69+
```java
70+
// Check properties of the newly added view
71+
System.out.println("View Uid: " + view.getUid()); // Print the unique identifier of the view
72+
System.out.println("View Screen: " + view.getScreen()); // Print the screen type for the view
73+
System.out.println("View Type: " + view.getType()); // Print the type of the view
74+
System.out.println("Parent Project of the view: " + view.getParentProject().get(Prj.NAME)); // Print the parent project of the view
75+
```
76+

30+
## Step 1: Provide the Path to Your Data Directory
31+
```java
32+
String dataDir = "Your Data Directory";
33+
```
34+
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.
35+
## Step 2: Read the MPP File
36+
```java
37+
Project project = new Project(dataDir + "HomeMovePlan.mpp");
38+
```
39+
This line of code reads the Microsoft Project file named `HomeMovePlan.mpp`.
40+
## Step 3: Set ImageSaveOptions
41+
```java
42+
ImageSaveOptions imageSaveOptions = new ImageSaveOptions(SaveFileFormat.Png);
43+
imageSaveOptions.setReduceFooterGap(true);
44+
imageSaveOptions.setRenderToSinglePage(false);
45+
imageSaveOptions.setPageSize(PageSize.A0);
46+
imageSaveOptions.setTimescale(Timescale.Days);
47+
```
48+
Configure the image saving options, setting `ReduceFooterGap` to `true` to reduce the gap between the task list and footer.
49+
## Step 4: Save as Image
50+
```java
51+
project.save(dataDir + "ReducingGapBetweenTasksListAndFooter_out.png", (SaveOptions) imageSaveOptions);
52+
```
53+
Save the project as an image with the configured options.
54+
## Step 5: Set PdfSaveOptions
55+
```java
56+
PdfSaveOptions pdfSaveOptions = new PdfSaveOptions();
57+
pdfSaveOptions.setReduceFooterGap(true);
58+
pdfSaveOptions.setSaveToSeparateFiles(true);
59+
pdfSaveOptions.setPageSize(PageSize.A0);
60+
pdfSaveOptions.setTimescale(Timescale.Days);
61+
```
62+
Define PDF saving options, ensuring to set `ReduceFooterGap` to `true`.
63+
## Step 6: Save as PDF
64+
```java
65+
project.save(dataDir + "ReducingGapBetweenTasksListAndFooter_out.pdf", (SaveOptions) pdfSaveOptions);
66+
```
67+
Save the project as a PDF with the configured options.
68+
## Step 7: Set HtmlSaveOptions
69+
```java
70+
HtmlSaveOptions htmlSaveOptions = new HtmlSaveOptions();
71+
htmlSaveOptions.setReduceFooterGap(true); // set to true
72+
htmlSaveOptions.setIncludeProjectNameInPageHeader(false);
73+
htmlSaveOptions.setIncludeProjectNameInTitle(false);
74+
htmlSaveOptions.setPageSize(PageSize.A0);
75+
htmlSaveOptions.setTimescale(Timescale.Days);
76+
```
77+
Specify HTML saving options, setting `ReduceFooterGap` to `true`.
78+
## Step 8: Save as HTML
79+
```java
80+
project.save(dataDir + "ReducingGapBetweenTasksListAndFooter_out.html", htmlSaveOptions);
81+
```
82+
Save the project as an HTML file with the configured options.
