Greetings! I’m using ASPOSE.Words 4.4.3.0 to extract embedded OLE objects from MS word documents and save them to file. When it extracts PDF files, they appear to be corrupted. Upon closer examination, it appears that Words is saving the PDF object in a structured storage file wrapper… Looking at the extracted file in UltraEdit32, the PDF file should start with “%PDF-1.2
%âãÏÓ”. Instead it starts with the hex D0 CF, the signature for a structured storage file. Looking at the extracted file in a storage browser, it creates a file with 3 substreams, the one named “Contents” actually contains the PDF document.
Is it possible to have Aspose.Words save out a viable PDF file?
Thanks!

Hi
Thanks for additional information. I managed to reproduce the problem. I have logged this problem to our defect database as issue # 4225. Please expect a reply before the next hotfix (within 2-3 weeks).
Best regards.
Thank you! I have been investigating more on my projects, and there are many other progid’s (Word Perfect, progID “WPWin6.0” for example) that get saved into a structured storage file when they are not really compound documents and thus are not usable. Let me know if you need any more examples or other information.
Thanks!
Roger
