Word Doc - PDF Track changes

Aspose.Words Product Family
1

Hi - I am unable to see the formatting of the changes (by that I mean “Track Changes”) that have been made to a Word document after it has been converted to PDF.

Coded as such:

inputWordDocument.AcceptAllRevisions();
inputWordDocument.SaveToPdf(PdfFileName);

See attachments for input DOC and resulting saved PDF without the formatting and history.

Any ideas ?

Thanks

Hello,
Thank you for your inquiry.
You call Document.AcceptAllRevisions(). All of your formatting changes are applied to the document. This is exactly the same functionality as in MS Word, when you click Review->Accept->Accept All Changes in Document. After applying you will see the result but not the changes themselves. The same thing you see after the call the method in Aspose.Words.
Also, in your example you call SaveToPdf() method. This means that you are using an older version of the Aspose product. We strongly recommend that you use the latest version of Aspose.Words. You can download it here: https://releases.aspose.com/words/net
conservation in your case would look like this:

// Open document.
Document doc = new Document(docFileName);
doc.AcceptAllRevisions();
doc.Save(pdfFileName, SaveFormat.Pdf);

Hi - thanks for the response.

Sorry but I didn’t make myself clear at all.

I need to see in the PDF exactly what is shown in the attached DOC … i.e. the dotted lines to the box that says “Deleted: argaret”, the inserted text itself underlined in purple, and the comments balloon when they hover over modified text.

Is this functionality supported?

Thanks

Is there any way we can speed up this process?

The company I work for has suggested they would be happy to pay for any custom development costs if it will mean they have a solution earlier.
