Comparing reports to PDF in .Net Core

Aspose.Words Product Family
1

Dear Sir or Madam,

We have recently moved our project to .Net Core and one our client complained about the discrepancy in outputting to PDF the results of compare two files containing the comments. Please find two PDFs attached. The documents that were compared were almost identical, the only difference was a comment in one of the documents. Now, the comparison in the “Old” file (which is .net framework shows the comment in the comments pain (see Old.png) while in the comparison in the “New” file shows the comment rather as the difference between two original files. Is it possible to achieve the same behaviour as we had in .Net framework in the .Net Core application?

Regards,
Alex

@AlexanderNovickov Please try specifying CommentDisplayMode.ShowInAnnotations. Please see the following code:

Document doc = new Document(@"C:\Temp\in.docx");
doc.LayoutOptions.CommentDisplayMode = CommentDisplayMode.ShowInAnnotations;
doc.Save(@"C:\Temp\out.pdf");

Thank you, Alexey, that’s the solution.
