Word Formfields collection and doc 2 html conversion

[Rick Langevoort]

Hi,

Currently I'm using a word component from Aspose to do some document generation on a webserver. However, I would like to convert this logic to use the DocIO component because, although I only started using DocIO shortly, I'm already quite pleased with the Syncfusion support.

I'm using word templates and fill in the blanks. This should be easily converted to either find-and-replace or mailmerge from DocIO. However, most of these templates also contain Word fields (textboxes and checkboxes). With Aspose I'm able to loop through the collection of these fields and obtain their values and id's and it is also able to generate HTML of the document template. Combining this I have been able to generate HTML pages of the templates and having people fill in the textboxes, or check the checkboxes, as needed besides the automatically filled fields and so generate the final document, including fields that have been edited/filled in the client's browser.

I can't find anything in the documentation about the word fields objects collection and a conversion to HTML (including these form fields converted to html input boxes or checkboxes). Is this even possible, or will I be out of luck here? And if not, are you considering such a functionality in the DocIO component?


Thanks,
Rick

Using the evalution version of Syncfusion Essential Studio. When using the sample DocToHTML, I get extra line breaks in the output HTML file. Is there a way to export the doc file to HTML with the same line spacing as the word document has? I evaluated Aspose.Words and it exports the word document to HTML without extra spaces.
You have a very nice set of samples.
Have to make a buying decision. Please respond at your earliest.
