Our project to test Aspose.Words against at least one million documents has started ticking.

Dmitry Vorobyev has developed a nice tool that queries Google for Microsoft Word documents and downloads them. In short test runs we downloaded more than 3000 DOC and RTF documents of various content and formatting.

“High Fidelity Migration” describes how OpenXML meets the over-arching goal to preserve the information, including the original creator’s full intent, in existing and new documents.

In an earlier post I mentioned that Monster.com uses Aspose.Words to process resumes of job seekers.

The greatest thing for all of us that came out from this is that Monster.com run Aspose.Words against heaps of their documents to see if they all are processed smoothly. We do have over 2000 our own test documents at Aspose, but no doubt Monster.com has a lot more. Anything that did not look right was sent to us, which we investigated and fixed in Aspose.Words 4.0.1. … Continue Reading
