Convert Save As DML Diagram Organization Chart in Word DOCX Document to PDF using C# .NET Code

Aspose.Words Product Family
1

After reading issues WORDSNET-4987 and 7396, I thought the smartart graphics like the Organization Chart would be saved to PDF from aspose.words version 11.11, but I tried it with an Organization Chart using version 13.4 and it shows up blank in the resulting pdf.
Is there a way to save an Organization Chart (SmartArt in Word) correctly to PDF using aspose?

Hi Jim,

Thanks for your inquiry. With Aspose.Words v13.4.0, I was unable to reproduce this issue on my side. I have attached the PDF file i.e. generated on my side here for your reference. Moreover, could you please double check if you are using the latest version (13.4.0) on your side? You can dynamically check if you’re referencing the correct DLL by using the following code snippet:

System.Reflection.Assembly[] assemblies = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.GetAssemblies();
foreach (System.Reflection.Assembly assembly in assemblies)
{
    System.Reflection.AssemblyName assemblyName = assembly.GetName();
    if (assemblyName.Name.Contains("Aspose.Words"))
        Console.WriteLine("Aspose.Words Version Number: " + assemblyName.Version.ToString());
}

Also, you can download the latest version from the following link:
https://releases.aspose.com/words/net

If we can help you with anything else, please feel free to ask.

Best regards,

Hi Awais,

Thanks for the reply. You are right that with the 13.4 it works for the (almost) empty word document and I was using 11.1. Problem is that the real document still does not show the organization chart even with 13.4, but it is a clients’ document and I cannot put it out publicly. How can I send this privately so you can investigate it?

Regards,

Jim

Hello Awais,

I managed to create a small example document out of the full report and attached both input and result again. Even with 13.4 version the pdf does not show the smartart.
