Need info on file format conversion

Hi


We are using ASPOSE in one of our application from last 7 years where we are generating word and pdf documents. Content for both the documents are same (i.e. Assessment Details).We implemented word and pdf generation functionality separately as the mechanism of generation word and pdf are different. We are using two separate DLLs i.e. aspose.word and aspose.pdf.

We need to use aspose in other application also which we are working on. During this I come cross to know that word document can be converted to pdf.

https://docs.aspose.com/words/java/convert-a-document-to-pdf/

As the content and formatting for he word and pdf are same we can just generate word document and then convert that to pdf using aspose.word dll. Need not to do separate implementation for pdf ?

What is the difference between generating word document in word and then converting that to pdf? How it is different from generating pdf file separately using aspose.pdf dll? will it loose nativity of pdf if we convert word to pdf?

Please give us input of this!!!

Thanks & Regards

Hi Ganapati Bhagwat,

You can choose any API as per your convenience. There should be no issue in either approach. The only limitation by Aspose.Words is it cannot convert to A2 or A3 conformance levels whereas Aspose.Pdf supports them.

In case you just want to generate PDFs and conformance level is not an issue for you, you can go for Aspose.Words, otherwise go for Aspose.Pdf.

Best Regards,
