Just a quick note about a new Aspose.Words for Java release that you can download here.

What’s New

We have just published Aspose.Words for Reporting Services 3.1.1. It is a hotfix that contains two important bugfixes. First, it addresses the long table cells problem reported by our customers. If your reports include tables with large amount of data spread over a few pages, you might want to install the hotfix to avoid incorrect export. Second, it addresses the invalid group page breaks placement that occurred for some relatively complex report design.

To download the hotfix, please visit http://www.aspose.com/community/files/52/ssrs-rendering-extensions/aspose.words-for-reporting-services/default.aspx… Continue Reading

Hi all,

We are splitting all product pages including documentation of the .NET and Java versions of Aspose.Words to eliminate any confusion for customers about which features are avilable where. Each page including Case Studies, Buzz, Testimonials is going to have its own version for .NET and Java.

Be the first to post a testimonial for Aspose.Words … Continue Reading

For several years already we’ve been growing Aspose.Words in the following four strategic feature directions:

• Conversions
• Programming
• Rendering
• Reporting

It just came to me that this is indeed our “mantra” and it helps us to explain many things that we do, but ultimately, it helps you to understand what Aspose.Words is about and what you can expect. Here is a brief recap:

Conversions – Aspose.Words supports a number of load or import document formats and a number … Continue Reading

While working on Aspose.Words for Reporting Services, we have been constantly thinking on how to maintain a good balance between the “editability” and appearance of the documents being generated. Produce documents as simple as possible, but don’t let layout and formatting suffer – that’s been our rule.

Following this rule is often difficult. RDL reports and Microsoft Word documents are basically very different things. RDL reports are easy to draw (for example, as a PDF document or image), but try to compose them … Continue Reading
