Problem
Some years ago we had developed in our CRM software a procedure with Microsoft Word automation to generate Word documents on the client computer, starting from a Word template and then converting to PDF format to send via email. The procedure needed ActiveX interaction and therefore only worked with Internet Explorer web browser.
Now Internet Explorer is not the most popular web browser and a lot of users use other applications like Firefox, Chrome, Safari, etc. For this reason, we decided to create the possibility to generate Word documents from those browsers that don’t use ActiveX interaction.
For this scenario, we had to find a product that could generate the Word document on the server. The solution also required that our Recall CRM customers are not forced to buy a Microsoft Word license for each server.
Solution
In the long search for a solution to our problem, we evaluated and compared different products, their advantages, and disadvantages, both in terms of quality and easy to set up and licensing fees.
After several trials of different solutions, we have found the answer in Aspose.Words for .NET
We have performed very extensive testing with hundreds of Word documents and only Aspose.Words gave the best results by providing fuller compatibility than Microsoft Word.
The choice of Aspose.Words with simplified work has allowed us to:
- Generate Word documents from our database records
- Easily manage custom templates of documents
- Automatically convert Word documents to PDF as an attachment to the e-mail
We also used our Aspose.Words for NET to develop our procedure:
- Simple Mail merge using a Word template
- Merge with regions
- Convert Word document to PDF
Experience
During the development of Recall, the greatest difficulty was to find a solution that would allow the creation of documents without Microsoft Word.
In the wide range of products and components on the market, we came across Aspose.Words.
Aspose.Words was the only tested component that met all our needs and requirements. Additionally, the Aspose support team answered our implementation questions promptly and to our full satisfaction, so Aspose.Words was an easy choice.
We were also able to evaluate the full functionality of Aspose.Words by requesting a temporary license. It was a good surprise to find that there existed a product that simply with a little line of code met our requirements. Aspose.Words was the correct solution
Next Steps
It was so simple to develop the solution with Aspose.Words for .NET, then we are evaluating the possibility of extending the use of other Aspose components for our upcoming projects.
Summary
Our experience of Aspose as a business, and their Aspose.Words for .NET solution has to date been very positive.
Aspose.Words was the product that has allowed us to solve our problem with efficiency and simplicity, saving us a lot of time of development. In our future implementations will use Aspose certainly other components.
Conclusion
In conclusion, we believe that the solution of Aspose is the best on the market and we would like to recommend it to any developer who, like us, want to better optimize their product.
We hope to build further our partnership with Aspose for our future requirements and work with them in further developing how we utilize their solution for the benefit of our members and community as it grows.
