We struggled for a long time using OpenXML from Microsoft. Finally, when we needed to convert an MS word document into a PDF, we tried Aspose.Words. Its ability to flawlessly create a PDF document from MS Word is what caused us to buy the product. But then we realized that its functionality was far beyond just creating a PDF and so we replaced all of our OpenXML code with Aspose.Words. We get better support (there is so much information available) and it's plain easier to use. Highly recommend it.

As recruitment agency that specializes in the tech industry we’ve decided to develop our own ATS that get thousands of resumes per hour. After evaluating lots of docs processors, we have decided to go with Aspose.Words and Aspose.PDF for .NET.  We were looking for service that will generate and convert all our files without utilizing Microsoft Word and Acrobat Reader. Service that supports all the popular formats and still will keep the styling of all our original resumes. We have got everything we were looking for from Apose PDF and Word API. For example we can render files in all popular formats, images, graphs and any kind of reach media are supported as well.

We are using the mail merge in our personal client communication. We remove all VBA macros and digital signature that comes within resumes, generate reports for all our recruiters, and insert watermark and lots of HTML contents. We are very happy with the outcome and we believe that our clients and recruiters are happy as well.
