RTF to DOCX conversion losing images

Aspose.Words Product Family
1

I am evaluating Aspose.Words v11.6.0.0 with the purpose of converting RTF into DOCX. In the converted document, the images are missing. I've attached a sample RTF file, plus the DOCX file created by loading the RTF into Word 2010 and saving as DOCX from there (images are included), plus the DOCX file created by Aspose.Words by loading the RTF and calling Document.Save with the SaveFormat.Docx (images are not included).

Any suggestions on how to get the images into the docx?

Hi David,

Thanks for your query. It would be great if you please share some more information about your issue. I can see the image in both output docx files.

I’ve attached a Word docx containing screenshots of what I get for the two docx files sent in the initial post. Is there something you have configured in Word that lets you see the image in the Aspose-generated file? I don’t see the image, and it doesn’t print either, nor does it appear in the PDF file (also attached here) when Aspose is used to save the RTF to PDF format.

Hi,

I have the same problem. RTF to DOC conversion doesn't work as well for images included in RTF.

Do you have an idea when the problem could be solved ?

Thanks for you response.

Hi Tahir. I’ve been researching this more and have determined that the problem is that there places where hidden text is used in the document and when a new group is started after the group with hidden text ( ‘{’ ) the \v state is not returned to the \v0 condition. Other previous modifiers such as \b for bold do get reset automatically when a new group is started. I’m able to get my images to come out by explicitly inserting \v0 before {*\shppict{\pict{… Hopefully you’ll be able to change this in the next build. We would like to be able to use your product without hacking the rtf stream.
