Borders appear after export to WordML

Aspose.Words Product Family

Dear Sir or Madam,

We recently have got the issue:

  1. Create a document with images.
  2. Create another document with one image and set Text Wrapping for this image to Tight or Box or anything but default and a border.
  3. Open first document and save to PDF - notice that there is no borders around the images.
  4. Open second document, save it to a stream as WordMl, read from, stream save as PDF.
    Since now every document you open and save to PDF will have the borders around the images, so
  5. Repeat step 3 and notice that images have the borders now.
    Project to reproduce the issue is attached.

Hi Tahir,
Thank you for your reply. Meanwhile I have one more question. We currently use AW-13 (because of this issue we cannot switch to AW-16 <a href=")
In AW 16 the “bad” image is inserted as DrawingML object. How can we change Text Wrapping for the nodes of this type? As we are a web based application now if a customer has it in its report and saves it to PDF it breaks every output for every customer and it’s a very destructive behavior.

Regards,
Alex

ShapeBase.WrapSide property specifies how the text is wrapped around the shape and ShapeBase.WrapType property defines whether the shape is inline or floating. For floating shapes defines the wrapping mode for text around the shape.

Could you please share your input, output, and expected output documents along with simplified code example here for testing? We will investigate the issue on our side and provide you more information about your query.

Hi Tahir,
I’ve already shared the input file in the project attached but just in case attaching it once again.
Codewise - I’d like to be able to do something like this but DrawMl cannot be cast to ShapeBase it seems:

Document doc1 = new Document(@"d:\Code\AsposeBorder\TestBorder\Bad.docx");
NodeCollection nodes = doc1.GetChildNodes(NodeType.DrawingML, true);
ShapeBase bas = (ShapeBase)nodes[0];
bas.WrapType = WrapType.Inline;

Regards,
Alex

Hi Alex,

Thanks for sharing the detail. We removed the DrawingML from our APIs in Aspose.Words 15.2.0. Please read about public API changes in Aspose.Words 15.2.0 from following link.

Public API Changes in Aspose.Words 15.2.0

Please use latest version of Aspose.Words for .NET 16.7.0 and change NodeType.DrawingML to NodeType.Shape in your code.

Hi Tahir,

As I pointed out in the first message we cannot use AW-16 until it has fix (or we have a workaround) for WORDSNET-14062

Hi Tahir,

Still you didn’t ask my question if there is a workaround I can use in AW-13 to change Text Wrapping for DrawingMLs?

Hi Alex,

Thanks for your inquiry.

Please use following workaround for issue (WORDSNET-14062). Hope this helps you.

AwDocumentBuilder builder = new AwDocumentBuilder();
Document awNote = builder.VisitTable();
foreach (Table table in awNote.GetChildNodes(NodeType.Table, true))
{
    table.ClearBorders(); 
}
awNote.Save(@"Out.docx");

Unfortunately, there is no workaround available for WORDSNET-14059. We apologize for your inconvenience.

Hi Tahir,

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately this workaround will not work as it will clear individual borders set for individual cells.
Is there ETA for proper fix of these 2 tickets?

Regards,
Alex
