Aspose.Words Reviews

We had a requirement to digitize approval and contract creation. During this project, we had to assess products that could convert MS Word to HTML format. Our developer has tried several products to perform the conversion for our legal document. So far Aspose.Words is the best, due to the accurate alignment, automatic numbering, font settings, and the original format are preserved as it is when converted into HTML. It can also accurately handle symbols and spacing where other libraries usually fail to preserve. Most crucial aspect we find helpful is that it supports .doc type file and its quite intuitive to develop with.

Our company was impressed with the performance and quality of the product during our trial period. One of the standout features of Aspose.Words is its speed. We were impressed by how quickly the library was able to process large Word documents, even those with complex formatting or numerous embedded objects. Another strength of Aspose.Words is its support for a wide range of document formats. We were pleased to see that the library can not only work with Microsoft Word documents but also with other common formats like HTML, TXT, and PDF.

The library is able to faithfully reproduce the formatting and layout of Word documents, even those with complex designs or custom styles. This is important for us as we need to ensure that our output documents match the original source documents as closely as possible. Overall, we would highly recommend Aspose.Words to other software development firms or businesses that frequently work with Word documents or other document formats.

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.

Our Problem: We were tasked with implementing programs into their tool of choice and provide output in various formats. We ran into several roadblocks but the most difficult was to produce a satisfactory reproduction of that form and populate each field from the applicable database table. Our end result was close, but some pagination issues still remain.

Our Solution: Aspose.Words for .NET. With this solution, we could develop code that would utilize a template and, when populated, supported the data applied, produced a true representation of the form which can be saved back to the database.

Conclusion: We highly recommend the Aspose suite of tools for whatever your business goals require.

Our team develops an AWS application which provides an online solution to build Estate Planning documents. Aspose Document Manipulation APIs are our primary document generation platform for our back-end services to build PDF documents. Our criteria for finding the right tool were: PDFs should look the same as original files. The tool should be powerful and feature-reach. It should be easy to use and have a responsive team. It’s also critical there is an active community of users from which problems can be solved from various perspectives. We invested in testing a number of alternative tools to ensure we understood which would do the job accurately. Aspose did the most accurate conversion from Word to PDF. Overall Aspose.Words for Java appeared to be the right choice for us. It was easy to search the Aspose.Total libraries to determine what would handle the document types we needed.

The Aspose solution is easy to use, and works well in a variety of cases. It was easy to integrate Aspose.Words into our product and the conversion itself is done with just a few lines of code. Performance has also been good in our testing.

Great product!

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.

At Ten-25 we want to empower our customers to be the absolute best they can be, to play our part in the supply chain of their world. Thanks to Aspose.Words for JAVA, we have been able to take a big step in delivering that vision. Through its flexible and very user-friendly package, we are able to design document templates in Word to provide with our UT400 trading software. Our customers can then modify or create templates themselves, without even needing Word themselves. Having the freedom to create smart, professional document templates in their own brand style is a huge bonus for them, and there is absolutely no need for them to wait around for us to change things for them.

We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Aspose.Words for JAVA to developers, and our customers are extremely pleased to have such a powerful, useful tool at their disposal. It has definitely added value to our proposition, and helped our customers to be able to take proactive control of their own documentation without delay or additional expense. Which for us and our customers is a huge win-win.

très bien

The legal industry is very paperwork intensive, and many areas of law are process driven, relying upon a large number of very similar forms. In an effort to address that, my team has created legal automation software, automating the creation of standard legal documents. Aspose.Words for .Net forms the backbone of this program, allowing users to create, modify and tokenize standard forms for use in law offices and routine legal processes. As we are dealing with legal documents, high fidelity to original formatting is required. Aspose deals with most formatting with ease, maintaining vertical alignment over ordered and unordered lists, paragraph indents, along with the general layout and formatting of the underlying Microsoft Word documents.

Aspose library has been awesome to work with from my developer's point of view. The examples and documentation are pretty straight forward, and it's been easy to use. We have tried other Word Processing libraries before, but none of them were as accurate as Aspose. Aspose is also much better at maintaining formatting than those other products.

Over the last year, we have been developing a very unique and powerful application that requires a lot of demanding document processing activities. Throughout the development process, it became increasingly apparent that all of the off-the-shelf open source, commercial and non-commercial libraries were not able to keep pace with what we were trying to do. Our code became very messy as we attempted to create a patchwork environment of processes, libraries and redundancies that was just overall inefficient.

We began to look for a single Java library alternative that could handle our application requirements and simplify our processes. Needless to say, this was not a small task and required us to do some heavy investigation.

It became immediately evident that our search had concluded once we took a chance with Apose.Words.  Admittedly, we were hesitant due to the cost…the license isn’t cheap and with the number of different library packages, we really had to figure out what was truly needed.  However, taking the leap was the best thing we could have done.  We saw the immediate positive results from Aspose.Words as it consistently produced the results we needed. 

We are going ahead with Aspose.Words with the intention of adding more of their libraries to our application as they become needed.  

Great job!

We have been looking for a high performing docx to pdf tool for a while now. Our system has an e-government aspect and is generating a large number of reports to the user community and performance is paramount. I tried Aspose.Words and I am very happy with the results. First of all, it was very easy and seamless to integrate and deploy in our project. Very smooth. Secondly, the speed of conversion is way better due to the fact that multiple jobs run in parallel. Thirdly, it's not only fast, but there were no formatting errors. Considering that we are providing a multi-lingual system and some reports include both English and Arabic fields (right-to-left alignment!), this was very important.

Finally, the file size was quite small, which again is very important as tens of thousands of documents are created through our system. Before Aspose.Words, our first implementation was Microsoft Office Interop library. This library converts the docx documents to pdf files perfectly, but after a while we noticed that the conversion operations are waiting for each executable. This caused a big delay when converting multiple documents at the same time. One of the reasons for choosing Aspose.Words is that each exe converts their documents to pdf at the same time and no waiting lock exists on the processing time.

Our results show that Aspose.Words for .NET has the best performance compared to other commercial and open source tools.

For our digitalization project, we needed to find a proper tool to convert docx files / templates to PDF. Our quite huge customer has lots of document templates with quite diverse content elements, such as logos, graphic elements, text, tables, checkboxes, placeholders, etc. And these not only in body, but in the docx headers and footers.

The expectation – as in most cases on the business side – to have the PDF documents typographically equivalent to their existing word templates – once they already have those designed and implemented, and changing them would result a high cost project.

The restrictions regarding the platform and the infrastructure were also challenging, considering that JAVA is to be used, and no separate 3rd Party component was allowed to be installed on the application servers. So easy ways, like having Microsoft Word, or Microsoft Print to PDF, or similar solutions from linux/UNIX world were not an option. Hence the only option to solve the problem was to find a proper solution that makes the work within our own application.

During the development phase we’ve tried several available tools, libraries both free and commercially available ones (e.g. Apache POI, PDFBOX, etc.), but majority of them had some lacks regarding the required functionality or features. Fortunately we found Aspose.Words for JAVA, and suddenly all problems disappeared. The required features were working just simply out of the box. Compared to the previous tries, Words for JAVA was a “one click solution”.

As a sum, if you are intending to find a proper docx to PDF converter, and you want to avoid lots of efforts writing your own, investigating available products, reverse engineer partially documented, or ready tools, libraries, then Aspose.Words for JAVA is the one that can easily make the job for you. Integration to your application is quite simple, and you can easily find your proper license that fits you the best.

A key feature of the webonboarding product is the ability to upload DOCX templates. These templates are then merged with onboardee personal data along with job offer data and the output is converted to PDF for review and signing. After extensive research and development, we chose Aspose.Words for Java as a vital building block in the document generation process.

One challenge in implementing this feature was finding a reliable way of converting the generated DOCX file to PDF. Our requirements were:

1. Fidelity: The output PDF file needs to match the input DOCX as closely as possible. This includes fonts and the ability to convert more irregular DOCX features such as tables and text boxes.
2. Speed: The application should generate single documents as well as bulk documents in the thousands, in a reasonable amount of time.
3. Reliability: The process needs to run successfully regardless of the input document.

We implemented a trial version of Aspose.Words for Java and were astonished at the improved speed performance, reliability and quality of the output document.Key improvements:

1. Fidelity: Aspose has been able to convert all the DOCX features we have tested, maintaining document layout and appearance. Aspose correctly converts documents with embedded fonts. For non-embedded fonts, Aspose uses the correct fonts if present on the server and provides a mechanism for defining specific fall-back fonts for metric compatibility.
2. Speed: On a bulk generation of 1,000 documents, Aspose has cut the generation by one third, when compared to our previous implementation on the same environment with a similar system load.
3. Reliability: Aspose has been able to reliably convert every DOCX document we have tested even complex and large documents, and is able to convert documents with embedded fonts.

After extensive research and testing we decided to go with the Aspose.Words for Java library for converting DOCX documents to PDF. The library is robust, fast and produces high quality PDF files matching the input DOCX formatting and layout. The library is flexible and may be used for more tasks throughout the system in the future.
