Hello,

The Aspose.Words .NET library can indeed function offline. It is designed for integration into your applications, enabling you to manipulate and process Word documents without requiring an internet connection.

If you have specific questions about its functionalities or need assistance with implementation, please feel free to ask!

Note: For working with plain text files, consider using a render-stage approach to handle the content appropriately.

Thank you!

Aspose.Words .NET library seems to works offline but is plugins like Aspose.Words Document Converter for .NET are working offline ?

@mathieupiot Aspose.Words .NET Plugin Family is the same Aspose.Words for .NET product but with different licensing model. While the features can work offline, the same way as in classic licensing model, Plugin Family uses metered licensing mechanism, that requires internet connection.

Ok so If the machine is not connected to internet Aspose.Words .NET Plugin seems to not be compliant with the licence model. So I can’t use the plugin licence without internet I am right ?

@mathieupiot Yes, you are right. You cannot use plugin license without internet connection.

For your needs you can consider using Wordize product. For example, for MS Word document to PDF conversion it is required to have Core and Rendering licenses:
https://docs.wordize.com/supported-document-formats/
Wordize licenses are provided as XML files and setting licenses does not make external API calls. Code for conversion is simple like this:

// Set licenses
Wordize.Settings.SetLicense(@"C:\Temp\Wordize_Core_for_.NET.lic");
Wordize.Settings.SetLicense(@"C:\Temp\Wordize_Rendering_for_.NET.lic");

// Convert document to PDF
Wordize.Converting.Converter.Convert(@"C:\\Temp\\in.docx", @"C:\Temp\out.pdf");

Or if you like fluent API more:

// Set licenses
Wordize.Settings.SetLicense(@"C:\Temp\Wordize_Core_for_.NET.lic");
Wordize.Settings.SetLicense(@"C:\Temp\Wordize_Rendering_for_.NET.lic");

// Convert document to PDF
Converter.Create()
    .From(@"C:\\Temp\\in.docx")
    .To(@"C:\Temp\out.pdf")
    .Execute();

Wordize is a young product so licenses cost only $99. The feature to convert Word document to PDF will cost only $198. The license is perpetual and provides one, two, three or four years subscription for free updates to new versions of Wordize that comes out during subscription period.
