Hello.

I have used your API to convert PDF to XPS file, but the result XPS file is actually an image.
Can I produce an XPS file which is actually contains a text and not an image (for search purposes)?

Thanks,
Alex.

Hi Alex,

Thank you for using our product. Are you using a PDF file with image or text elements?

If the PDF has text elements, then PDF to XPS conversion will have text elements in it. Please check it, and, in case you face any issue, please share your template file with us to show us the issue. We will check it and get back to you soon.

Sorry for the inconvenience caused.

Hello.


Thank you for your answer.

I have solved this problem by writing to a FileStream object, but I think the conversion has a problem with the RTL format.
I am sending you the example with the correct RTL format (as pdf file) and the example with the distorted format after the conversion (as xps file).

Thanks,
Alex.

Hi Alex,

Thank you for sharing the files.

I have tested your issue with the latest version Aspose.Pdf for .NET v7.3 and I am unable to reproduce the issue. I have attached my resultant XPS file for reference. Please download and try the latest version and if you still face the issue, please share your sample code with us to help us reproduce the issue.

Sorry for the inconvenience,

Hello.


I have taken the latest Aspose.Pdf for .NET version (v.7.3) and I’ve got the same distorted result.
I have the same RTL issue when I try to convert Excel and PowerPoint files to XPS.
I am sending you the code snippets that I use to operate these conversions:

For PDF:

using (Aspose.Pdf.Document doc = new Aspose.Pdf.Document(@“D:\Projects\ConvertToXPS\Files\Input\Example2.pdf”))
{
using (FileStream fs = new FileStream(@“D:\Projects\ConvertToXPS\Files\Output\XPSfromPDF.xps”, FileMode.Create))
{
doc.Save(fs, new Aspose.Pdf.XpsSaveOptions());
}
}

For Excel:

Aspose.Cells.Workbook book = new Aspose.Cells.Workbook(@“D:\Projects\ConvertToXPS\Files\Input\Example.xlsx”,
(new Aspose.Cells.LoadOptions() { Region = Aspose.Cells.CountryCode.Israel, LanguageCode = Aspose.Cells.CountryCode.Israel }));

using (FileStream fs = new FileStream(@“D:\Projects\ConvertToXPS\Files\Output\XPSfromExcel.xps”, FileMode.Create))
{
book.Save(fs, Aspose.Cells.SaveFormat.XPS);
}

For PowerPoint:

Aspose.Slides.Presentation slides = new Aspose.Slides.Presentation(@“D:\Projects\ConvertToXPS\Files\Input\ExampleNew.ppt”);

using (FileStream fs = new FileStream(@“D:\Projects\ConvertToXPS\Files\Output\XPSfromPowerPoint.xps”, FileMode.Create))
{
slides.Save(fs, Aspose.Slides.Export.SaveFormat.Xps);
}

By the way, the Aspose.Slides.Presentation class does not support PowerPoint 2010 (I’ve got the UnsupportedFormatException).

Thanks,
Alex.

Hi Alex,

Please accept my apologies as I am able to see the mentioned issue with the latest version of Aspose.Pdf for .NET. I have registered the issue in our issue tracking system with issue id: PDFNEWNET-34226. We will notify you via this forum thread regarding any updates against the issue.

Also, Aspose.Pdf provides a feature to print a PDF file to XPS and as per my testing using that feature the output is fine. If feasible, you may try this feature for now as a workaround.

Regarding the issue related to other products, I am moving this thread to the Aspose.Total forum so that other product representatives can reply to you accordingly.

Sorry for the inconvenience,

using (FileStream fs = new FileStream(@"D:\Projects\ConvertToXPS\Files\Output\XPSfromExcel.xps", FileMode.Create))

Hello.


I cannot use a printing feature because PDF printing method produces XPS content as an image,
but I need it as a text (for search purposes).
I will wait till the PDFNEWNET-34226 issue is solved.

Thanks,
Alex.

Hello.


I have tried your latest version (v7.3.1.3) and got the same problem.

Hi Alex,


Thanks for the template Excel file and output XPS file.

After an initial test, I can find the issue as you have mentioned. In the output XPS file, the display of the data/contents of the sheet is not RTL.

I even tried to add a line (in bold) but in vain).
Sample code:

string filePath = “e:\test2\ExampleNew.xlsx”;


Workbook workbook = new Workbook(filePath);

workbook.Worksheets[0].DisplayRightToLeft = true;

workbook.Save(filePath + “.out.xps”);


I have logged a ticket with an id: CELLSNET-41042 for your issue. We will look into it soon.

Thank you.
