File Formats - DocIO encrypting and saving a document issue when using the Fluent Ribbon

[Justin Crowe]

Hi

Firstly, sorry about the platform choice but i couldn't see the File Formats platform option..

I'm trying to use the DocIO Word/excel library as part of our desktop application to save an encrypted file to the disk on a users machine.

However, before the document gets to the desktop app, we use the fluent ribbon api to remove alot of the menu options (save as, options etc). 

This is done using a customUI.xml file as detailed in this article - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office/vba/library-reference/concepts/overview-of-the-office-fluent-ribbon.

The issue is that after saving with the sync fusion DocIO api we loose all of our original ribbon settings. 

Is there anything we can do about this? I don't want to have to re do all of the work in the ribbon when saving through the DocIO library. 

Thanks in advance

Hi Justin,

Thank you for contacting Syncfusion support.

Essential DocIO will preserve the CustomUI.xml file as it is, while opening and re-saving the Docx document. We suspect that you may perform any manipulations before saving a Word document and it might be a reason for this issue. So, kindly provide us the following details thereby we will analyze further and provide you a prompt solution at the earliest.
 
    1. Input Word document.
    2. Code snippets used to manipulate this document or Sample.

Please let us know if you have any questions.

Regards,
Vijay R

Hi, thanks for the quick reply!

That's good news that the sync fusion lib does support it. I suspect it's something we are doing wrongly then.

I have attached a few files. Input (before Syn Fusion) and output (after Sync Fusion set password) docs and their corresponding .rels files that show a difference.

The code we use SyncFusion library is below:

          try

            {   

                using (MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream(myBytes))

                {

                    using (var msToEncrypt = new MemoryStream())

                    {

                        stream.CopyTo(msToEncrypt);

                        using (Syncfusion.DocIO.DLS.WordDocument wordDocument = new Syncfusion.DocIO.DLS.WordDocument(msToEncrypt, Syncfusion.DocIO.FormatType.Automatic))

                        {

                            wordDocument.EncryptDocument(password);

                            wordDocument.Save(msToEncrypt, _defaultWordDocumentFormat);

                            wordDocument.Close();

                            myBytes = msToEncrypt.ToArray();

                        }

                    }

                }

            }

            catch (Exception ex)

            {

                _logger.LogError(ex.Message);

            }

            return myBytes;

The version of office is read from a registry lookup. Could that be the cause? Does a different rels file get built depending on version?

          switch (version)

            {

                case 14:

                    _defaultWordDocumentFormat = Syncfusion.DocIO.FormatType.Word2010;

                    break;

                case 15:

                    _defaultWordDocumentFormat = Syncfusion.DocIO.FormatType.Word2013;

                    break;

                default:

                    _defaultWordDocumentFormat = Syncfusion.DocIO.FormatType.Docx;

                    break;

            }

Thanks
