    Aspose conversion destroys control elements in templates .NET

    Hello!

    We have an application that uses Aspose.words for mail merge. Lately, we have discovered a defect that relates to content control elements (input controls from the developer tab on ribbon in Word 2010). These become unusable after the document is converted by Aspose. 

    In particular, in converted document I am unable to make a selection in a picklist control. I can still see the values but the selection is not possible.

    Did anyone experienced this problem?

    Hey

    (from same team as orignal poster)

    Since it is confirmed that the bug is realted to Apose we have to rely on your hot fix. This issue is higly cirtical since we have go-live monday (02. may). Since aprox 800-1000 leters are generated daily through Aspose and almost every single document contains a word picklist it will have a server impact on productivity for end-users since the users must manually delete the malfunctioning control and replace it with plain text. So we would really approciate an ETA on a fix for this issue so that we can report back to the business for a temporary workaround.

    Best regards

    Hey

    Any progress in this matter? We are really suffering from this problem but are pretty stocked since we rely on 3. party code here :-(

    Looking forward to get an update

    Best regards

    Hi

     

    Thanks for your request. Unfortunately, this issue is still unresolved and currently, it is difficult to provide you any reliable estimate regarding this. I added your request to my monthly report, so its priority will be increased. We will be sure to inform you of any developments regarding this problem.

    Hey

    We have now waited 6 weeks for this fix and it has caused the business of our customer 100 of hours of lost productivity and have yet to here any concrete feedback on this matter. We are standing in a cross-road where we have to determine whether to keep waiting for your fix or rewrite our code to to use another 3. party provider or do this our-self.

    But since we use a OEM license of Aspose which is part of our own 3. party product the decision is a hard one.

    Can you give a update on this issue or are you using the product in a way that make a fix for this impossible?

    Hey

    This is seriously not very convincing. It is now (again) almost a month ago you promised a follow-up on this almost 4 month old business critical issue.Can you please provide an update on this matter or at least conclude that you can (or will) solve this bug? We have to go with another product soon since the business cannot go on with a solution where mail merge is corrupting their letters

    Re: Aspose conversion destroys control elements in templates

    Hello Anders,

    I apologize for the time it took our team to analyze this issue, but as a make up for this and as a late reward for your patience, I have went ahead and fixed the problem right after analysis. So please download the new release at the end of this month.

    Again, pleas accept my apologies for 4 month wait, and let me know if you have any other problems.



    With best regards,
    Denis.

    Re: Aspose conversion destroys control elements in templates

    Hey

    Great news - and thanks for enhancing my level of patience :)

    Is there any chance to get the fixed dll's for testing? As mentioned before the business is bleeding so a fast test and feedback to business is (and has always been) critical?

    Looking forward to hear from you

    Best regards
    Anders Jacobsen
