Aspose.Total Recensioni

Très belle suite de composants,, une référence de poids sur son domaine.

We needed an out of the box SDK to convert MSWord files, and thereafter, also Emails into PDF files, including headers, metadata information, footers, highlights, and watermark to the converted files. Aspose.Total provides powerful conversion capability from different file types to PDF format, allowing us to create authentic versions of the documents for our customers. It supports a variety of file formats, including Microsoft Office files, PDF, HTML, images, emails, and more, and has saved us a significant amount of time and effort, as we do not need to search for and integrate multiple third-party libraries to work with different file formats.

We previously tested and used Aspose.Word for over two years and performed thousands of conversions with great accurate outputs. When assessing the ability to convert other file formats using the same logic, Aspose.Total seemed like the perfect solution for us. We were blown away by how well Aspose.Email extracts Microsoft Outlook mailboxes and parses MSG files – it’s amazing and highly efficient - even when working with large or complex files. The conversion accuracy is also highly important to us as the PDF extracted must be identical to the input file as part of the accurate legal review process being conducted by our clients (Law Firms).

Overall, Aspose is a powerful and reliable suite of libraries that can help developers save time and effort while building high-performing solutions. It offers a wide range of functionalities, is easy to use and perfect for any business that needs to work with multiple file formats.

Aspose components are well documented, very easy to integrate in the target applications. Also, they deliver expected results, without major difficulties in use. All importing and exporting of excel files are based on Aspose.Cells. Totalsoft built, using this component, a functionally which allows consultants to implement flexible exports to excel files. It has support for formula configuration and validation. After export to excel is finalized, a set of formulas are applied to get exactly the information need in the requested format. Different character sets are supported, including Chinese and Cyrillic. Also, excel files import and transformation for different processing needs are based on the Aspose.Cells component.

Programmers found Aspose.Cells very easy to use and easy to integrate component. Performance in working with a large volume of data was very good.

I had been trying create an application to sign digital signature to Office documents and, optionally convert them to PDF. I tried many different libraries (both free and commercial), but they did not have features that I need (e.g. signing digital signature on Microsoft Signature Line, finding objects in Office documents, etc.). When I found Aspose.Total for .NET, I was able to finish my development within a week. This is a fantastic library for manipulating all kinds of documents.

We operate a web app which requires end users to upload one or more files, which are then compiled into a single PDF. We need to support a wide range of file types – Microsoft applications plus images and PDFs. We tried Aspose because we were building a new conversion application and we needed a tool which offered functionality which is missing from our current implementation:

• Faithful reproduction of document layouts (e.g. retaining the layout of entire Excel sheets rather than splitting them across several A4 pages)
• Retaining tracked changes and comments in Microsoft documents
• Retaining notes and comments in PDFs
• Converting MS documents with external data
• Support for a wide range of file types

We built a proof of concept with the Aspose trial and are pleased to say that it has met all these requirements. It was easy to implement and supports wide variety for .NET frameworks which give us future stable options to migrate as per our needs.

I was a initially concerned about price, but after few days it is clear that the product is very complete and allows to save a lot of developing time. It is very simple to use and to integrate in my existing application to generate Word or PDF documents starting from templates. With just a few lines of code you can load it in memory, merge with your object arrays and get the result (DOC, DOCX or PDF). It is really fast in production and simple to integrate compared with other libraries.

Only with some complex documents we see that the software requests a lot of CPU time. Last important point is that it doesn't need Office installed to work. We used PDF functions of this library to manage PDF files. The real advantage of Aspose is that with the same library you have a full solution to work with PDF to fine managing PDF file formats, manipulate contents and convert it to different formats. The other point we managed with Aspose.Total was mail. I tested it trying to connect to POP, IMAP and Exchange accounts. It was really easy to manage ics invitations. Now we are trying to manage XBRL formats. Functions available inside the package seems to grant reading and validation capabilities in minutes.

We are really satisfied by this product and for sure it will be part of our codes on coming years.

We develop a cloud-based application which provides tools to teach and learn American Psychological Association (APA) Style and facilitates the publication of manuscripts which conform to APA Style. Aspose Document Manipulation APIs are the basis the essential back-end services for the writing component of this software.

We needed to generate accurate paginated renderings of our proprietary-format composite documents in identical PDF and Microsoft Word formats, to drive on-screen preview and final document export. We found the ability in Aspose to specify presentation rules as CSS greatly simplified the process because we could share style definitions between our HTML-based editor and the pagination pipeline; but when more complex constructs were needed, we could plug in code to override the default handling. We also used Aspose’s document-parsing facility to provide our application the capability to extract and import images, tables, and other embedded objects from externally produced Microsoft Word documents uploaded by our users.

Aspose’s APIs provided a mix of services for document construction and deconstruction which was ideal for our application requirements and shortened our development time - and it is a workhorse which runs 24/7 on our cloud-based production servers.

We have been a fan of ASPOSE products for years. Within the healthcare, clinical education and patient care settings, our organization faces numerous documentation challenges that the ASPOSE offerings efficiently service within this space.

We were dealing with a complex set of data points housed in numerous data locations that needed to be merged in an efficient and consumable format for an ever increasing set of data consumers. Merging these data sets in a customized format oftentimes varied not just by Physician practice location and study type, but also by the practitioner themselves. This required providing data outputs in tailored formats so that information could be communicated in the most effective positive outcome format.

ASPOSE provides a mechanism to merge data sets together in an efficient and accurate method to best service the patient population.

We have tried Aspose.Words for .NET libraries and the richness of supported file format is very impressive. Additionally, the performance is beyond my expectation comparing to other commercial products out there. The Word files generated by our application are not only created faster, they are more like what our customer's want.  It also has easy to understand interface so that I can integrate to our application without too much difficulty.

We have changed our process in order to eliminate Microsoft Word software dependance forced by the native Interop libraries. With the Aspose library we were able to manage all the process in memory and manage the document more efficiently. The objective is double :

1. Avoid the installation of Microsoft Word on a server for automation purposes
2. Better performance with a library directly in a code

Also, Aspose has a complete Microsoft Office library and is very useful to add some flexibility and functionality to our web application. Your mileage will vary depending on the methods used to process documents in regards to integrating their library, but they are functionality complete and the documentation is an integral part of the provided product.

I highly recommend the Aspose product family. It covers almost any need and feature one can have related to documents The company seems to be delivering constant updates and keeping in time with the rest of the technology world (by looking at their twitter feed and newsletters). But the biggest point is the time savings for my project, having just one set of APIs to relate to, makes this a money saver for me.

We needed to read common document formats (PDF, DOCX), extract text from them, save & recompress them as PDFs. (This includes OCR of images, possibly extracted from PDFs) We had to do this to an initial batch of about 200.000 - 500.000 docs, then at a more moderate pace. Three components (Aspose.Words, Aspose.PDF, and Aspose.OCR) would cover the needs, but buying the entire package costs just slightly more than those products separately, and the additional features adds value to my project (spreadsheets, email, imaging, barcode).

Setting up the Aspose products is as easy as: 1) acquiring a license; 2) include the dependencies in your project; and 3) instantiate a component license class and set the license file (which can be done with a memorystream if you don't use file-storage). Aspose has a great documentation of the products that covers the entire API, and common use cases with examples.

The OCR results have been satisfying, we have compared it to Google's open source project Tesseract, and on regular-text-sized documents it gives us good results. Compared to the overhead of having a separate component of doing the OCR, and the "unknown" of using projects that possibly can be abandoned, I prefer the Aspose product.

Finally, Aspose.PDF can handle so-called *iref-streams*. It’s a feature of pdf documents above version 1.4 and is a MUST if you need to read PDFs produced in modern times. (It certainly was a "must have" feature for us!) Many competing products don’t offer this. It’s very easy to glance over requirements or take them for granted. For example, if a component can read document format "X" it does NOT mean that it can write format X, or convert from format X to Y. This is a problem that I haven't found with Aspose products.

Previously, we’ve produced Office Open XML documents directly using the Open XML SDK, which meant having to keep track of various parts of the document that didn’t need changing! That approach meant dealing with things like string tables and needed an intimate knowledge of the internal structure of an Office Open XML document – not something I wanted to get too deep into. There were also a number of issues around memory footprint which resulted in a move to an even more difficult to manage phased export of the different portions of the document.

Using Aspose has been a completely different experience. Aspose.Words allows content to be added to documents using a single method call. The stateful tracking of the styles applied to a paragraph allows for easy styling of multiple paragraphs without keeping track of style references. The insert HTML feature provides straight-forward support for HTML content that has been supplied by end users. The large number of formats that can be saved with just the switch of an enum parameter makes the whole implementation extremely flexible both for us as developers and the end users.

Aspose.Slides makes it easy for us to support user-provided templates by opening existing documents and cloning content from them. Layout slides, master slides and the references between them are handled very neatly and are a clear example of how Aspose accurately represents the contents of documents without exposing the messy details of how they are actually stored. Aspose.Slides also exposes a large number of formats which can be saved to using the same data.

In Aspose.Cells, string tables are handled in the background and the text can simply be added to each cell in turn. Working with multiple worksheets is as simple as moving between items in a collection. All of the information about a cell (its contents, styling, format etc.) is stored and edited in one place and handling merging of cells is considerably simplified. Again, it’s also possible to save to a large number of file formats using Aspose.Cells.

Overall, Aspose provides a great abstraction to the Microsoft Office formats, whilst still maintaining a comprehensive set of features to allow you to create the full spectrum of documents that are possible in Microsoft Office. I would definitely recommend that anyone trying to automate the creation of Microsoft Office files should consider Aspose.

Aspose are very simple and easy-to-use components.
I do use them to export to Excel a lot of table views and it works perfectly.
I also use the Imaging to resize, crop and work with images then integrated in PDFs and that's how I easily create badges for European and French congress attendees.

I recommend these components and Aspose services. I had once an issue and posted on their forum, they answered within the day.

Aspose is great library. Prior to using Aspose we were leveraging a third party platform to perform file conversion on behalf of our customers. Due to security and compliance requirements we decided to bring this capability internally, however, this is not trivial task and Aspose solves some of the biggest pain points.

We needed a solution to convert Microsoft documents/sheet/presentations into PDf reliably and we tried OpenOffce and LibreOffice, which got us about 90% of the way there. Then we tried Aspose (Words, Sheet and Slides) and as per our initial testing it has been a great tool. It also supports streaming which is a huge plus and something that other solutions just couldn't do.

Overall we are happy and and plan to use this library for a number of our use cases.

We evaluated many open source solutions for formats conversion and encounter with so many problems not only with implementations but also with the quality of the output files.

When I started to use Aspose Total for this task I was amazed how easy it is to use and the generated output files were just exactly as it should with no glitches, while with other solutions we had to do many configurations and workarounds to make it somehow work.

I will say that Aspose saved us a lot of developing time and I can assure the output will work and will be error free.
