Testimonials

Thanks for all your help! I have successfully used your component to extract meta data type information from tables within documents, along with full text, an html conversion and more to create an xml file for a database import. I stress tested my code against 10,000 word documents... which was approx. 600mb in size, pointed my app to it and it worked like a charm. Your component is fantastic!

Conversions in Popular Document Formats

Using Aspose.Words, developers can easily open and save DOC, OOXML, RTF, WordprocessingML, HTML, MHTML, TXT and OpenDocument documents. Aspose.Words for .NET can save any document as a PDF file.

Aspose.Words lets you convert documents between all supported formats, but conversions between Microsoft Word documents and saving to PDF are performed with high fidelity that ensures minimal formatting loss.

Programming with a Document Object Model

Aspose.Words allows developers to build or modify documents and formatting with ease using a document object model consisting of over 100 classes.

Developers can programmatically create, modify, extract and replace all document elements including sections, headers, footers, paragraphs, lists, tables, text, fields, hyperlinks, bookmarks and images. Developers can  specify detailed formatting for any document element. All drawing objects including shapes, textboxes, images, OLE objects and controls are supported and you can perform things such as insert watermarks or extract images easily.

Aspose.Words also provides useful security and utility features like joining or splitting documents, copying  fragments between documents, protecting and unprotecting documents, modifying document properties and inserting HTML fragments into the document. 

NEW! Rendering, Printing and Viewing

It is now possible in Aspose.Words for .NET to print or convert whole documents or individual pages to TIFF, PNG, BMP or EMF images. You can also render (draw) any document page onto a .NET Graphics object to a desired size or zoom to create thumbnails or display in a browser.

Aspose.Words is specially designed to render a document into pages and print with high fidelity to Microsoft Word (e.g. very similar to how Microsoft Word would have done it).

Developers will find it easy to print or preview documents because Aspose.Words integrates with the .NET printing infrastructure and at the same time allows to completely customize the printing process.

Reporting and Mail Merge

You can use Aspose.Words as a reporting solution. Design your reports in Microsoft Word and then have Aspose.Words fill documents with data from various data sources.

Aspose.Words allows developers to use standard Microsoft Word mail merge fields in the reports. Additionally, you can use Aspose.Words extended syntax for mail merge fields to perform more complex operations during mail merge such as insert images or repeatable regions.

The data for the report can come from an ADO.NET data table, from business objects or from a completely custom data source.

Platform Independence

Aspose.Words for .NET and Aspose.Words for Java are “twin brothers” products and together cover most of the popular development environments and deployment platforms.

You can use Aspose.Words for .NET to build any type of a 32-bit or 64-bit .NET application including ASP.NET, Web Services and WinForms. It is possible to use Aspose.Words for .NET via COM Interop from ASP, Perl, PHP and Python. You can even use Aspose.Words for .NET to build applications with Mono.

Aspose.Words for Java is available for Java 1.4, 1.5 and 1.6 and will run in any place where Java is installed. It is possible to use Aspose.Words for Java from Perl, PHP and Python.

No Microsoft Word Automation
Aspose.Words does not require Microsoft Office to be installed on the machine in order to work. All Aspose components are totally independent and are not affiliated with, nor authorized, sponsored, or otherwise approved by Microsoft Corporation. In short, Aspose.Words is a better alternative to automation in terms of security, stability, scalibility/speed, price and features.
