Hi,

I am attaching simple Java program which simulates issues. Also, I am attaching expected behavior for both scenarios. Input html is included in application source file.

File first.docx is document with issue and file first_expected_behavior.docx is document with expected behavior. Same thing is for file second.docx

I am using Aspose.Words for Java 17.3.0

Hi Milan,


Thanks for sharing additional information. Please note there is no concept of pages in simple HTML files. Please try saving to HtmlFixed format instead by using the following code. Hopefully it will resolve the issue.

Document doc = new Document(“input.docx”);<o:p></o:p>

HtmlFixedSaveOptions opts = new HtmlFixedSaveOptions();

// Specify options as required

doc.save("AW_175.html", opts);

Hi,

You can see issues in source code than I attached in previous post. It is obvious that page numbers and not updated correctly, it is always number 1 for some MS Word standard footer options.

Issue here is with page numbers in footer section. This is nothing to do with concept of pages in simple HTML. I am talking about style attribute with ‘<span style=“color: rgb(0, 128, 0); font-weight: bold; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family: “Courier New”; font-size: 9pt;”>-aw-headerfooter-type:footer-primary’.

<span style=“color: rgb(0, 128, 0); font-weight: bold; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family: “Courier New”; font-size: 9pt;”>
<span style=“color: rgb(0, 128, 0); font-weight: bold; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family: “Courier New”; font-size: 9pt;”>
I am attaching working example (just with page numbers in footer). It this case page numbers are showing correctly but for the other scenarios it is not working.

Can you check source code that I attached and examples which are not working properly?

Note: I am attaching again source code.

Also, you can find files first.docx and second.docx which have issue and files first_expected and second_expected.docs which represent expected behavior.

File third.docx is example which works as expected.

Regards<span style=“color: rgb(0, 128, 0); font-weight: bold; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family: “Courier New”; font-size: 9pt;”>
