Table and image truncation during word transformation from .doc to .docx using ASPOSE.Words

We are using ASPOSE.Words for our .doc to .docx transformation. During transformation, some of the tables are images are getting truncated. Even Auto Fit Word settings dont work. Please help.

When converting documents from .doc to .docx using Aspose.Words, if you are experiencing issues with tables and images being truncated, there are several strategies you can employ to address this problem.

  1. Check Table Properties: Ensure that the tables in your .doc file have appropriate properties set. Sometimes, tables may have fixed widths or heights that do not translate well during conversion. You can adjust the table properties in the original document to allow for more flexibility.

  2. AutoFit Settings: While you mentioned that AutoFit settings are not working, it’s worth double-checking the settings applied to the tables. You can set the AutoFit behavior programmatically after loading the document. Here’s an example of how to apply AutoFit to tables in Aspose.Words:

    import aspose.words as aw
    
    # Load the document
    doc = aw.Document("input.doc")
    
    # Iterate through all tables in the document
    for table in doc.get_child_nodes(aw.NodeType.TABLE, True):
        table.auto_fit(aw.AutoFitBehavior.AUTO_FIT_TO_CONTENTS)
    
    # Save the document as .docx
    doc.save("output.docx")
    
  3. Image Handling: If images are being truncated, ensure that their properties are set correctly in the original document. You can also resize images programmatically after loading the document. Here’s an example of how to resize images:

    import aspose.words as aw
    
    # Load the document
    doc = aw.Document("input.doc")
    
    # Access and resize images
    for shape in doc.get_child_nodes(aw.NodeType.SHAPE, True):
        shape.width = 200  # Set desired width
        shape.height = 150  # Set desired height
    
    # Save the document as .docx
    doc.save("output.docx")
    
  4. Document Layout: Sometimes, the layout of the original document can affect how content is rendered in the converted document. Ensure that margins, padding, and other layout settings are consistent and appropriate for the content.

  5. Testing with Different Formats: If the issue persists, consider converting the document to other formats (like PDF) to see if the problem is specific to .docx conversion. This can help isolate the issue.

If these suggestions do not resolve the truncation issue, you may want to reach out to Aspose support for more specific guidance based on your document’s content and structure.

Feel free to try these approaches, and let me know if you need further assistance!
