Headers / Footers lost When Converting from RTF to Doc

Aspose.Words Product Family
#1

Hi!
When I try to convert a doc from RTF to DOC, the headers and footers are lost. Very simply, I am doing this:

Document doc = new Document("myrtffile.rft");
doc.Save("mydocfile.doc", SaveFormat.Doc);

Is there a fix in the works for this? Or can I have a workaround?
Thanks in advance for your help! :slight_smile:

BTW - I am using aspose.words 7.0.0.0. This happens with any RTF file I create with MS Word that has a header and footer.
Thanks!

Hi

Thanks for your request. I managed to reproduce the problem on my side. Your request has been linked to the appropriate issue. You will be notified as soon as it is resolved.
As a temporary workaround, you can try using the following code:

// Open source document.
Document doc = new Document(@"Test001\in.rtf");
// Loop through all sections.
foreach(Section section in doc.Sections)
{
    // Create list, where we will temporary store headers/footers.
    ArrayList hfList = new ArrayList();
    foreach(HeaderFooter headerFooter in section.HeadersFooters)
    {
        // Create copy of the header/footer.
        HeaderFooter hfNew = new HeaderFooter(doc, headerFooter.HeaderFooterType);
        // Copy all content from old header footer.
        foreach(Node node in headerFooter.ChildNodes)
        hfNew.AppendChild(node);
        hfList.Add(hfNew);
    }
    // Remove old headers/footes.
    section.HeadersFooters.Clear();
    // Add new headers/footers.
    foreach(HeaderFooter headerFooter in hfList)
    section.HeadersFooters.Add(headerFooter);
}
// Save output document.
doc.Save(@"Test001\out.doc");

Hope this helps.
Best regards.
