Differentiate encrypted docx from encrypted pptx and encrypted xlsx

Aspose.Words Product Family

Hello Aspose.
I want to ask if Aspose words can differentiate encrypted docx from encrypted pptx and encrypted xlsx?
My Aspose version: 18.1.0.0. C#
My use case: user submits encrypted file which can be pptx, xlsx and docx. This file has “tmp” extension. I want to detect the correct filetype, which is docx or xlsx or pptx. User dont submit the file’s password.
My code is
FileFormatInfo info = FileFormatUtil.DetectFileFormat(inputFile); // pptx and xlsx are detected as info.LoadFormat = docx.

Thanks you

@truongminhlong,

Regarding WORDSNET-18019, we have completed the work on your issue and concluded to close this issue as ‘Not a Bug’. Please see the following analysis details:

First of all, when you are using code like this:

Aspose.Words.FileFormatInfo info = FileFormatUtil.DetectFileFormat("E:\\temp\\sample\\test.docx");
Console.WriteLine(info.LoadFormat); // always returns DOCX

As the result you will get DOCX, because while an OOXML document is encrypted, it is not possible to ascertain whether it is an DOCM, DOCX, DOTM or Excel, or PowerPoint document without decrypting it first, so we just return DOCX by default.

So as you understand, to get correct load format, you have to specify password to open this document.

This code will return you correct format if it is Word document i.e. DOCX, DOCM etc:

LoadOptions loadOption = new LoadOptions();
loadoption.Password = "test";
 
Document doc = new Document("test.docx", loadOption);
Console.WriteLine(doc.OriginalLoadFormat.ToString());// will return .docx.

Hope, this helps.
