Key Features

Reporting

With Aspose.Words for SharePoint, you can fill documents with data from external data sources such as databases, SharePoint lists or XML data files. You can save the result in any supported document format.

Report template is a Microsoft Word file with placeholders defining where to insert data from the report data source. Regular Microsoft Word mail merge fields serve as placeholders. However, Aspose.Words does much more than the standard Microsoft Word mail merge. You can:
  • Define template regions to repeat for each data record in a data source.
  • Use nested regions to reflect parent-child relations in the data.
  • Insert images instead of merge fields.

Report template also specifies where to find the data source definition. Currently the following data sources are supported:

  • SQL queries from data sources supported by OLE DB data providers. For Microsoft SQL Server you can use .Net SQL data provider.
  • SharePoint lists via CAML queries.
  • XML data files located in a SharePoint document library.

Multiple formats supported

Having Aspose.Words for SharePoint installed on your server you can convert documents right from within your SharePoint document library to and from many popular office document formats.

Currently Aspose.Words for SharePoint supports the following input formats:

  • DOCX – Office Open XML
  • DOC - Microsoft Word 97 - 2003 Document
  • RTF - Rich Text
  • MHT - Web Page Archive
  • XML - Microsoft Word 2003 WordprocessingML
  • XML - Flat OPC
  • ODT - OpenDocument

To generate documents, Aspose.Words for SharePoint relies on a built-in version of Aspose.Words for .NET, the market leading document-processing component from Aspose. DOC, OOXML, RTF and WordprocessingML copies of the same document will look identical to the original thanks to the high level of support for the underlying file formats, provided by the core Aspose.Words engine.

Microsoft Word is not used to generate documents. The full list of output formats supported by Aspose.Words for SharePoint is below:

  • PDF - Adobe Portable Document
  • DOCX – Office Open XML
  • DOC - Microsoft Word 97 - 2003 Document
  • RTF - Rich Text
  • MHT - Web Page Archive
  • TXT - Plain Text
  • XML - Microsoft Word 2003 WordprocessingML
  • XML - Flat OPC
  • ODT - OpenDocument
  • EPUB - IDPF Digital Book
  • XPS - XML Paper Specification

Workflow support

You can use Aspose.Words for SharePoint in SharePoint workflows. After installation, a new workflow action named “Convert via Aspose.Words” will be available in SharePoint Designer. There you can use all the supported formats, setup the process with multiple options and use action output in subsequent actions to create workflows of any complexity.


File concatenation

Any combination of input files in supported formats can be converted into single output document. You can take files from subfolders in the document library, choose the desired files, adjust concatenation sequence via simple UI and get a resulting combined file through a minimal number of clicks.

Your component is fantastic

Thanks for all your help! I have successfully used your component to extract meta data type information from tables within documents, along with full text, an html conversion and more to create an xml file for a database import. I stress tested my code against 10,000 word documents... which was approx. 600mb in size, pointed my app to it and it worked like a charm. Your component is fantastic.
