Hi there,
Thanks for your reply. Just to give an example of what I am doing, I am rendering a variety of documents using your word and cell controls.
Items then get added to an object list (which may contain mixtures of PDF, Excel, and Word items) and then, if required, get rendered into a single PDF document. In the same process, they may be left in their original format and saved to the hard disk as Word or Excel files and, as part of the same process, may be sent back to the user’s browser as a single PDF or in their individual state if there is only one item.
For instance, if there is only one Word document, then it can be sent out using something like this:
Aspose.Words.Document docWord = ((Aspose.Words.Document)item);
docWord.Save(HttpContext.Response, renderFileName, Aspose.Words.ContentDisposition.Inline, null);
If there is more than one item, it will be combined automatically in a function.
returnDoc = new Aspose.Pdf.Document();
returnDoc.EmbeddedFiles.Add((Aspose.Pdf.FileSpecification)(GetRenderedElement(item)));
Where GetRenderedElement contains the following code:
Aspose.Words.Document tmpDoc = WorkingDoc;
// If an individual element needs to be PDF then render it to PDF before adding to
// the final output document. If the overall document needs to be rendered as
// PDF, these will just be added to the collection
MemoryStream saveDocMS = new MemoryStream();
tmpDoc.Save(saveDocMS, Aspose.Words.SaveFormat.Doc);
returnValue = new Aspose.Pdf.FileSpecification(saveDocMS, item.ElementName);
Given the capabilities of the PDF generator object, I am unsure of the best way to import these rendered PDF files. I tried the following but it just produces a blank document.
Aspose.Pdf.FileSpecification docPDF = ((Aspose.Pdf.FileSpecification)item);
MemoryStream saveDocPDF = new MemoryStream();
docPDF.Contents.CopyTo(saveDocPDF);
Aspose.Pdf.Generator.Pdf pdf = new Aspose.Pdf.Generator.Pdf();
Aspose.Pdf.Generator.DocumentAttachment att = new Aspose.Pdf.Generator.DocumentAttachment();
att.DocumentAttachmentCotentType = "application/pdf";
att.DocumentAttachmentStream = saveDocPDF;
pdf.DocumentAttachments.Add(att);
pdf.Save("XXXX.pdf", Aspose.Pdf.Generator.SaveType.OpenInAcrobat, HttpContext.Response);
Is there an obvious method call I am missing?
I would have expected the Generator to accept a PDF.FileSpecification as one of its overloads since that seems to be the only way to save a PDF document.
A better alternative would be that a PDF document (which does accept the file specification as an embedded file) has a save to web response method something like this:
Aspose.Pdf.Document x = new Aspose.Pdf.Document();
Aspose.Pdf.FileSpecification docPDF = ((Aspose.Pdf.FileSpecification)item);
x.EmbeddedFiles.Add(docPDF);
x.Save("XXXX.pdf", Aspose.Pdf.Generator.SaveType.OpenInAcrobat, HttpContext.Response);
Hopefully, this is not too confusing, but please can you suggest what I am doing wrong with this?
(BTW, DocumentAttachmentContentType is spelled wrong.)
Thanks
