Style of TOC is not correct

tinu · January 8, 2007, 9:30pm

Hi

I’m saving a Word document to a PDF using the following C# code:

// Save the document in Aspose.Pdf.Xml format.
_doc.Save(strTempFile, SaveFormat.AsposePdf);

// Read the document in Aspose.Pdf.Xml format into Aspose.Pdf.
Aspose.Pdf.Pdf pdf = new Aspose.Pdf.Pdf();
pdf.BindXML(strTempFile, null);

// Instruct to delete temporary image files.
pdf.IsImagesInXmlDeleteNeeded = true;

// Produce the PDF file.
pdf.Save(strDestination);

The TOC of the Word document gets converted into Hyperlinks in PDF (blue underlined text). I would like to have the TOC converted into Hyperlinks to be able to navigate within the PDF document but the style should be applied from the Word document.

I’ve talked to the PDF team about other issues I’ve had an their response about this was:
=============
The underline style is generated by Aspose.Words in the XML. Please contact the Aspose.Words team if you are not satisfied with it.

=============

I can send you the documents to reproduce the error but need an email address since I cant publish this document in the open space.

Thanks a lot for your help.

Hi Vladimir
I just got a response from the PDF team. There is a manual break between chapter 1 and 2. The PDF team first thought it would be a “widow/orphan” issue. After looking at this again there response before was:
====

Page breakes and "widow/orphan control"
Sorry for my mistake. After
investigaing this problem further I found it is caused by the “column break” in
the Word document. Aspose.Words ignored this break in it’s xml.

====
Can you look at this again? You will find the document in a previous reply within this thread.

Thanks a lot for your help!

Hi Tommy

The TOC is still displayed as hyperlinks. I’ve tested it with your attached version 3.3.0.4.
See the doc and pdf attached.

Thanks for your help

Hi Tommy
Me again. You remeber we had the issue about the “column break / page break / widow-orphan”? With your latest version 3.3.0.4 the column break will be dealt with properly. Thanks!

The problem I see know is that the margins in the PDF produced by Aspose are not the same as it is in Word. The PDF produced with Adobe sets the margins correctly and we end up with the same amount of pages for this document. The margins dont look right when I’m using Aspose to generate the PDF. I’ve included some screenshots to explain what I mean.

Thanks a lot for looking at this for us.
Regards
Tinu

Dear Tinu,

1) As I have mentioned before, the hyperlink is generated by Aspose.Words in the xml:

1
#$TAB
Einleitung
#$TAB
#$REFPAGE(_TOC153171988)

2) In the Word document, the footer is set to be 30.55points "from edge". This is not supported in Aspose.Pdf. Aspose.Pdf has different header/footer mechanism with Aspose.Word which makes the header/footer in pdf can't be exactly the same as that in Word. We have added this into our plan and we will support it in future version.

Dear Tinu,

The fix for the hyperlinks in TOC will be available in the next hotfix of Aspose.Words in about a week.

Best regards,

Hi Tommy
Sorry I’ve complicated the whole thing now, got a bit confused. I thought that you asked me to test the TOC error in the Reply 65286. What actually Do you wanted me to test so I can confirm your hotfix?

Vladimir: Thanks for your info. Will you post a reply to this threat when the hotfix is available?

Apprechiate your support guys, well done.

We have decided to publish the hotfix today. Check for download update in about 8 hours.

Dear Tinu,

Sorry for not making it clear. What I mean is the page breaking issue which is caused by the column break.

tinu · January 14, 2007, 9:46pm

Hi Tommy
Page breaking issue has been solved, all good!
Thanks a lot
