Docx-Pdf: Long running conversion issue: JAVA

@jaipm .NET version of Aspose.Words is the main version, so all fixes are first implemented in .NET version and then ported to Java.

The issue with TIFF image is specific for Java version so the issue has been created for java version only.

@alexey.noskov Could you please let me know the ETA of these tickets? We are badly impacted in our Prod env. due to this slowness of Aspose. We must expedite the fix.

Meanwhile would you recommend any mitigation?

@jaipm WORDSJAVA-3075 is already in development and is scheduled to be resolved in the next 25.4 version of Aspose.Words for Java.
WORDSNET-28136 has a duplicate issue in our defect tracking system, which is also already in development. The fix is scheduled to 25.5 version.
We will keep you updated and let you know once the issues are resolved.

I am afraid, currently I cannot suggest you any workarounds for the above mentioned issues.

@alexey.maslov do you know when is 25.4 is expected to be released?

@jaipm,

Version 25.4 has already been released, but unfortunately, issue WORDSJAVA-3075 required more in-depth analysis and has not been resolved. The fix for WORDSJAVA-3075 is planned for version 25.5, along with the resolution of WORDSNET-28136. Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience.

@alexey.maslov Thanks for the update. What’s the ETA for 25.5?

Do these cases get expedited if we have a paid support service?

@jaipm 25.5 version of Aspose.Words for Java will be published somewhere in the middle of May.

Once you get license for paid support, you can escalate the issue in paid support, this will push the issue upper in the queue.

Thanks, I was trying to find Version 25.4 but could only see 25.3 at Aspose.Total | Java Class Libraries to Process File Formats

Hello @alexey.maslov , what is the ETA for the version 25.5?
Are WORDSJAVA-3075 and WORDSNET-28136 still on track to be delivered as part of 25.5?

@jaipm WORDSJAVA-3075 is already resolved. The fix will be included into the next 25.5 version of Aspose.Words for Java.
WORDSNET-28136 is currently in analysis.

Thanks @alexey.maslov is WORDSJAVA-3075 for the TIFF issue?

@jaipm Yes, WORDSJAVA-3075 is for the TIFF issue.

Thanks again for your prompt responses @alexey.maslov . When can we expect 25.5 release?

@jaipm Usually new java version of Aspose.Words are published in the middle of each month.

Hi @alexey.maslov , are we expecting 25.5 release this week?

@jaipm We are working on Java release right now. If everything goes smoothly it will be published this week. We will keep you updated.

@alexey.noskov Thanks for releasing 25.5. Do I need to make any code changes to handle TIFF issue or simply updating the aspose.words to 25.5 is sufficient ?

@jaipm

The issue was that rendering images using JAI took a significant amount of time. This is an internal limitation of JAI, so we added an option to disable JAI during rendering. You will need to update the library and add the following lines:

PdfSaveOptions saveOptions = new PdfSaveOptions();
saveOptions.setUseJAIImageRendering(false);

Please note that disabling JAI may affect rendering quality in certain scenarios. If needed, you can re-enable it using:
saveOptions.setUseJAIImageRendering(true);
