Many customers wanted to access page layout information in Aspose.Words. This included questions such as:

• Where does a page start or end in a document?
• Where on a page my paragraph (table, shape etc) is located?
• How can I tell how much space is left on a page?
• Can I get the page number of a bookmark?
• and so on

It was not possible to support any of these scenarios in Aspose.Words because Word documents are “flow-layout” documents and do … Continue Reading

It is finally here. What else can I say.

I have earlier mentioned that today, 24th Nov, we will make available an Aspose.Words for .NET release that includes the “final beta” of the new rendering engine. Yes, the one for rendering document pages to images, printing on a server and direct to PDF conversion.

There’s been a late minute change to simplify the new public API and it is going to delay the release by 2-3 days.

As a teaser, I can tell you how the new API is going … Continue Reading

We are happy to announce that Aspose.Words for Java now supports loading of Microsoft Office 2007 Open XML (DOCX) documents!

This is the most important new feature in Aspose.Words for .NET 5.3.0 that I almost forgot to mention!

It is now possible to load OpenDocument (OpenOffice Writer) documents in Aspose.Words! Aspose.Words will recognize ODT files automatically and also a new LoadFormat.Odt enumerated value has been added.

It is now easy to convert ODT to OOXML or any other document format supported by Aspose.Words:

Document doc = new Document(@”C:\MyFile.odt”);
doc.Save(@”C:\MyFile Out.docx”);

Note: Loading OpenDocument is in Beta at the moment. We … Continue Reading

This has been possible with Aspose.Words all the time, but it has now gotten a lot easier.

We used to promote Aspose.Words to be used in .NET and Java applications only and provided “pretty cold” support for customers who wanted to use Aspose.Words in classical ASP with VBScript or JavaScript, in PHP, Delphi or other programming languages.

We have changed the policy now and we are happy to fully support use of Aspose.Words from any programming language.

Here is what we’ve … Continue Reading

What’s changed:

This release introduces a new and exciting feature. As you might know, Microsoft Report Viewer working in local mode only offers few export formats which are built-in, and there are no DOC, DOCX, RTF, or any other Microsoft Word document formats amongst them. Have you ever wished you could change this?

Just download the latest Aspose.Words for Reporting Services 2.3.0.0, and you will notice a couple of new assemblies included into the package. Add a reference to one of them (depending on what … Continue Reading

We are trying ourselves in making product and training videos. There are at least three short videos for an upcoming new version of Aspose.Words for Reporting Services planned. This is the first video about running AWRS on a server.

If you fancy 2 minutes listening to a guy (me) speaking English with a bit of Russian accent you can try.

Other than that we are looking to hear your feedback. Do you want more videos? What topics? Do you … Continue Reading
