Hi,
When i convert a protected docx to PDF, the value of content controls are not set by Aspose.
If i unprotect the document with MS Word and save it, the values are correctly set in the new PDF generated file…
Then, how can i convert a protected docX file with Aspose without unprotected it with MS Word ??
Thanks for your help.
NB : i am using the evaluation version (still waiting licence files)
NB2 : the docx file concerned was generated with docx4j (java library )

Hi thanks for your reply.
After somes tests, the problem is not related to document protection.
If i take the document and i just save with word (without changes), Aspose convert it correctly in PDF format.
Then i suppose the problem is due to how docx4j create the file.
I would like to post my example file, but i don’t know how to edit in order to remove confenditial data.

Hi
Thanks for your request. You can unzip your DOCX document (DOCX is actually a zip archive) and edit document.xml. In this case, you will remove sensitive information and do not edit the file using MS Word.

Hi,
Thansk for help.
I compare the two files, the one open then save with Word and the original (created by docx4j).
The problem comes from databinding :

In fact the Content value is wrong in my document: "<BACK_ADDR_INFO> ,
Words uses correctly the databinding configuration (<w:dataBinding w:xpath="/variables/variable[@name='BACK_ADDR_INFO']"), when i open the file Word read and display the variable value (provided in an external file).
And when i save the file with Words, it replaces the value "<BACK_ADDR_INFO> by the variable value.
Then the file will be successfuly converted in PDF by aspose.
Is it possible that Aspose read the value from binding value and no from tag ?
Or how to store docw file with docx4j with the binded value ?
Many thanks for Help !

Hi,
Here an attached example which doesn’t work.
The value between herringbone must be replace by values of binded variables (see item1.xml).
Word replaces correctly them but not Aspose.
