We were happy to find a bunch of great Aspose.Words testimonials at 411ASP.NET recently. Apparently, our marketing team knows this place (since Aspose has an advert there), but we, the development team came across it first time and it was a big pleasure to read. There is also a separate topic in the Support Forums for testimonials.

In this version:

• Updated Aspose.Words for Java API Reference. It is always up to date now since it is auto-generated from C# XML documentation with appropriate changes for Java.
• Ported the DocumentExplorer demo to Java, added as a demo project.
• Added basic PDF export using iText to the demo projects. Note this export is very basic and is only intended to show how to extract content from a Word document using Aspose.Words. It is not suitable for production PDF
