I have been looking over the Wiki to see the capabilities, but maybe someone can enlighten me here:
- When will the Word Editor be available? Will it do printing as
well? Any idea how “accurate” viewing and printing is/will be as
far as the document appearing the same as in Word? We need the
ability for a user of our website to be able to view and print
documents on our site, and also edit them and save the edited docs back
to the server. Could the Word Editor be embedded in a web page as
an ActiveX control? - We have a Word-automation “char counter” we built for billing
transcription by the char. Bolds/fonts/etc are billed 2x, plus we
bill for chars in header/footer each time the header/footer
appears. We have docs with multiple sections and with different
header/footer sets for each section - so the char counter app has to
use pagination to figure out which headers/footers show up on how many
pages - for these reasons we cannot use the simple char count provided
by Word - and the Word Automation can take over a minute to “richly”
count a 4 page doc. We need something better and faster that can
be run on a server - can Aspose Word help us here? I saw in the
Wiki that pagination was not supported yet - when will it be? - I saw in the Wiki that you can set the “protection” for a
document. Can you password-protect a document against
editing? Can you encrypt a document? Can you use a digital
key certificate to digitally sign a document (the way you can from
inside Word)? - I am confused by your licensing model. If Aspose was suitable
to our needs, and we needed to run it on a Web server that runs our
site, which version would we need to get? What if that web site
had an ActiveX control written by us that used (the future) Aspose Word
Editor to edit documents in a web page?
I thank you for your help on this
