Conversion to PDF and Fast Web View

Aspose.Words Product Family
1

Hi,


can you add support for Fast Web View in PDF when converting a document? Currently I cannot see such an option in PdfSaveOptions class. I know I can use Pdf Kit for that, but since it’s not compatible with Google Web Toolkit and requires JAI to work we cannot use it. Can add that as an option into PdfSaveOptions ?

Thank you,
Mariusz Pala

Can you also add ability to set open type in PdfSaveOptions? It’s available in Aspose.Pdf, but Aspose.Pdf is not compatible with Aspose.Words:(


pdf.setOpenType(OpenType.Bookmarks);

Hi there,

Thanks for your inquiry. Please use the PdfSaveOptions.setPageMode method to achieve your requirements.

The PdfPageMode specifies how the PDF document should be displayed when opened in the PDF
reader. Please check the following detail of PdfPageMode.

USE_NONE : Neither document outline nor thumbnail images are visible.
USE_OUTLINES : Document outline is visible. Note that if there’re no outlines in the PDF document then outline navigation pane will not be visible anyway.
USE_THUMBS : Thumbnail images are visible.
FULL_SCREEN : Full-screen mode, with no menu bar, window controls, or any other window visible.
USE_OC : Optional content group panel is visible.

After careful evaluation, we have decided not to implement PDF linearization (“Fast Web View”) at this time due to:

  1. Low Demand – Minimal customer requests over 11 years (fewer than accessibility-related asks in just 1 year
  2. High Implementation Cost – Would require:
    • Rewriting our single-pass PDF renderer to multi-pass
    • Significant memory management changes Risk of performance degradation in core workflows
  3. Existing Workarounds – Customers can easily linearize output using:
    • Standard tools (qpdf, Adobe Acrobat)
    • Simple post-processing scripts
