Pdf to Docx conversion issue

Hi, I’m evaluating Aspose.Pdf for .Net and I need to convert Pdf files to Open Office Docx format.
I’m using Aspose.Pdf v 11.6.0.0 as follows (input Pdf file attached to this message).

Document pdfDocument = new Document(@“d:\temp\example.pdf”);
DocSaveOptions saveOptions = new DocSaveOptions();
saveOptions.Format = DocSaveOptions.DocFormat.DocX;
pdfDocument.Save(@“d:\temp\example.docx”, saveOptions);

The ouput Docx file (also attached) cannot be opened by Microsft Word 2007. The error message Word gives is “The Open Office XML file ‘example.docx’ cannot be opened because there are problems with its contents”. However, Doc format works well for me.

Is this some known issue? Or may I do something to workaround? (I’ve tried both DocSaveOptions.RecognitionMode.Flow and DocSaveOptions.RecognitionMode.Textbox with no luck).
Thanks in advance.

Hi there,


Thanks for your inquriy. We do not have any such known issue, resultant DOCX files are being opened with Microsoft Word 2007 and other MS Word versions as well.

However, I have tested your shared output file with MS Word 2007 without any error. We will appreciate if if you please try to open the resultant DOCX file on your some other system, may be there is some issue with your MS Word installation.

Furthermore, I have noticed that you are evaluating Aspose.Pdf without a valid license. You may request a 30 days temporary license and evaluate Aspose.Pdf without any limitation.

We are sorry for the inconvenience caused.

Best Regards,
