There were plenty of heated debates when OOXML was driven to acceptance as an ISO standard. Although we have a lot of experience with OOXML on the Aspose.Words team – we did not participate much in those debates. Today’s topic is not about the reasons why we stayed away from those debates. This post is just about one thing I found interesting/funny we came across recently.

As you might know ISO/IEC-29500:2008 specifies two levels of OOXML compliance – Transitional and Strict.… Continue Reading

It has been just under a month since we released 9.2. Our release cycle has recently been close to two months and we did not plan to release next version so soon. But we have been very productive this month and managed to close 82 issues, most of them had customers waiting for significant time. We decided no need to force so many customers to wait for another month just to repeat our regular two months release pattern.

I will … Continue Reading

Aspose.Words for .NET provides a comprehensive support for Microsoft Word lists. You can access a number of list properties, such as list levels, numbering format, and many others. Literally, you can access every list feature Microsoft Word’s UI offers.

However, until recently, you could not get the exact value of list label for each list item (paragraph) in the document. That is, if a certain paragraph had a list label like 2.1.4., you could not access it via the … Continue Reading

As you probably know we provide all our technical support in the forums http://www.aspose.com/community/forums/aspose.words-product-family/75/showforum.aspx

• It is hard for the support personnel to divide work between themselves and track who is helping which customer.
• It is impossible for the customers to see at a glance which

If you upgrade to Aspose.Words for .NET 9.2 you will get:

Performance improvements to the rendering (conversion to PDF, XPS) and field update engines. We are now pleased with testing DOCX to PDF conversion of a document 526 pages long with lots of tables and a big Table Of Contents. Compare this with earlier versions where we did not expect “fast” conversion for documents bigger than 100-200 pages.

GDI+ is no longer used for font measurement during layout and rendering. This resolves some rare 64-bit server-side exceptions … Continue Reading

Everything is Split into .NET and Java

As you might know our Aspose.Words for .NET and Aspose.Words for Java are “twin brother” products. We code in Aspose.Words for .NET and then port that code almost line-by-line to Aspose.Words for Java. The result is the two APIs are virtually the same.

Because of this similarity of two products we had only one set of online documentation and it was called Aspose.Words for .NET and Java Documentation. But because the two products … Continue Reading

In mid-April, four of us from the Aspose.Words team have attended the ODF Interoperability workshop that was held in the beautiful city of Granada in the province of Andalusia. The main themes of the trip were learning more about Open Document initiatives in Europe, meeting people, talking about nuances of ODT and testing how well Aspose.Words supports it. Besides, we had a chance to make a presentation about Aspose.Words to the ODF Plugfest community.

Due to our poor Spanish, we did … Continue Reading
