Aspose.Words can't read .DOC files created by Apple Pages

Aspose.Words Product Family

Hi,

It seems that any .DOC created by doing an export from within Pages can’t be read. These .DOC files can be opened fine by Microsoft Word, and resaving them from Word results in a file that is only about 100 bytes different in size, and then works fine with Aspose.Words.

/Mark.

The error message is:

Exception in thread "main" com.aspose.words.FileCorruptedException: The document appears to be corrupted and cannot be loaded.

Hi
Thanks for your inquiry. This problem is already fixed in the current codebase. The next release will be published within week I think.

Hi Alex!

Wonderful - thanks! Is this a fix for the Java version as well or just .NET? I’m currently using Java.

Regards,

Mark.
