Problem with DrawingML (conversion from RTF to DOCX)

Aspose.Words Product Family

Hello.

I have a .rtf document and I have to save it to .docx. After that, I use Apache Tika to extract XHTML from the .docx. I am not using Aspose in this last step because I was not able to extract a clean HTML (without formatting).

The code is as follows:

Document doc = new Document("D:\\Teste\\10932983.rtf");
doc.removeMacros();
	
OoxmlSaveOptions options = new OoxmlSaveOptions(SaveFormat.DOCX);
options.setDmlEffectsRenderingMode(0);
options.setDmlRenderingMode(1);
options.setCompliance(OoxmlCompliance.ISO_29500_2008_TRANSITIONAL);
doc.getCompatibilityOptions().setDisableOpenTypeFontFormattingFeatures(true);
doc.getCompatibilityOptions().optimizeFor(MsWordVersion.WORD_2013);
doc.save("D:\\Teste\\serah3.docx", options);

The problem is that the generated .docx from Aspose does not follow the definition of DrawingML that pictures come in the pic:pic element (<pic:pic xmlns:pic="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/drawingml/2006/picture">). So Tika does not recognize the pictures when reading the docx generated by Aspose.

Aspose generates the picture in the v:shape element. I guess this v:shape element is microsoft proprietary?

When I save the document with Microsoft Word, it works fine.

I’ve tried different configurations of setDmlEffectsRenderingMode and setDmlRenderingMode without success.

I need help. Thanks in advance.

Hi Alessandra,


Thanks for your inquiry. To ensure a timely and accurate response, please attach the following resources here for testing:

Thank you for the reply.

The files are attached.

Check line 408 of xhtml_generated_from_word_doc.html. It shows:
Localização do Pará no Brasil

This image is identified by Tika from the following element of docx:
<pic:pic xmlns:pic="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/drawingml/2006/picture">
(Tika searches the namespace http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/drawingml/2006/picture and the pic:pic element)

In the xhtml generated from aspose’s docx, there’s no img element.

Thank you for your attention.
