Anyone that has been involved in Word automation knows how difficult it can be at times, and when server side automation is required it can get even more complex. Syncfusion’s DocIO frees us from the dependency on Microsoft’s Office interops, which makes server side document generation possible and gives a significant performance improvement; in some cases we found DocIO to be 5 to 6 times faster than using interop when building documents. The DocIO object model is very easy to use and simplifies many operations that are used frequently with Word automation. It’s also very flexible, so where there are features that are not provided by DocIO, such as unlinking fields, it is usually possible to implement these yourself. The support for multiple document formats is also excellent and makes migration between Office versions much simpler. The support for DocIO is brilliant. Support requests are dealt with promptly and in a friendly and professional manner. Patches for resolved issues are provided in a timely fashion. Overall DocIO is an excellent product and I would recommend it to anyone looking to implement a Word automation solution.
