Track Changes are not appearing in PDF Document

Aspose.Words Product Family
1

We are received full trail license for Aspose Words .Net. Using this tool we are trying to convert a Word document with track changes within the document. The PDF generation process is successful. However the PDF document doesn’t show the track changes.

Is there any settings that we need to perform before converting a word document to PDF to ensure the track changes are retained in PDF.

Hi Ramesh,

Thanks for your inquiry. Unfortunately, Aspose.Words does not support revision marks upon rendering/converting to PDF. We had already logged this feature request as WORDSNET-2120 in our issue tracking system. Hopefully, the fix will be available in April release v13.4.0. You will be notified via this forum thread once this feature is available.

We apologize for your inconvenience.

I have verified the status of this feature WORDSNET-2120 from our issue tracking system. This feature is under development phase.

Hi Ramesh,

Thanks for your inquiry. Could you please attach your input Word document here for testing? I will investigate the issue on my side and provide you more information.

Unfortunately, you can not change the color of revisions at the moment by using Aspose.Words. Regarding WORDSNET-2120, there are some known limitations e.g 1) exact colors for author revisions are not supported.
2) Advanced tracked changes options are not used, defaults are used: underline for insertions, strike through for deletions.
