Thumbnail generation for word document

Aspose.Words Product Family
1

Hi

I’m trying to generate thumbnails for word documents which are basically a snapshot of the first page.
I was wondering whether Aspose provides Word to Image conversion out of the box

Another option I was considering is to convert to PDF and then convert pdf to image (i have technology for that), but in this case how to i convert to PDF only 1st page of word document? (I know how to convert the whole doc)

Please advice

Hello
Thank you for your interest in Aspose products. Currently converting to image is supported only in .NET version of Aspose.Words. Please see the following link for more information:
(NET) https://docs.aspose.com/words/java/rendering/
(Java) https://docs.aspose.com/words/net/rendering/
At the moment we are working on synchronizing .NET and Java versions of Aspose.Words. Once we finish this work, all features, which are available in .NET version will be also available in Java version. We plan to finish this work within 3-4 weeks. You will be notified.
Regarding the second question, there is no direct way to convert a certain page of the document to PDF.
Best regards,

Hi Irena,
Thanks for your inquiry.
Just to clarify what Andrey has explained, image rendering will be available in Java but not in the first auto ported version due out shortly. It will become available in the version released after that (around a month later).
Thanks,

Unfortunately it’s difficult for me to estimate the release date of the feature I’m interested in by the number of failing unit tests

Can you please give me an approximate date when this feature becomes available for your customers?
This will help us plan the roadmap for our product some features of which are dependent on this functionality
