"Seamless and efficient redaction with Aspose.Total."

5/5

What do you like best about Aspose.Total?

The capability that worked for me was that it retained the original filetype instead of converting the document into an image post-redaction. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aspose.Total?

The learning curve is a bit high for starters, but you get familiar with it over time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Seamless Integration of Aspose in our E-Signature Platform to be able to handle more file formats"

5/5

What do you like best about Aspose.Total?

Feedback from our customers has been overwhelmingly positive. They appreciate the convenience and efficiency that Aspose adds to our platform. The ability to sign Excel files, images, and other formats directly has streamlined their workflows and increased their productivity. This flexibility is particularly valuable for businesses that deal with diverse document types and need a reliable solution to manage their e-signature processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aspose.Total?

Nothing now that I can critizise. Now everything worked smooth for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Aspose.Total solving and how is that benefiting you?

sproof sign is designed to simplify the process of signing PDFs, but our users often need to sign various other file formats. This is where Aspose's capabilities have truly shone. Aspose enables the conversion of multiple file formats, including Excel spreadsheets, images, and PNGs, into PDFs effortlessly. This functionality has significantly enhanced our platform's versatility, allowing our users to sign documents in their preferred formats without any hassle.

"Wide range of APIs"

5/5

What do you like best about Aspose.Total?

Before using Aspose, we had to install individual packages for every file format. However, after integrating Aspose. Total, we were able to eliminate this requirement. This resulted in significant time savings during document conversion.

With its wide range of APIs, we can easily view any type of file in PDF format. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aspose.Total?

One thing we dislike about Aspose. total is their licensing format. Currently, they are providing them in a file format, but we suggest that it would be more convenient if they could offer them in the form of an API key. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Aspose.Total solving and how is that benefiting you?

In the case of Data archival, we archive several file types. We also need to merge different types like rtf, doc, jpg, txt, xml, html into a single file format. Before we got to know this product we had certain limitations on merging it into a single document. But Aspose. total came up as the best solution, we are now able to merge all the file types into a single PDF document. As a special mention, it also provided various options to customize the PDF with bookmarks, table of contents, header, and footer. Although we used a trial version of Aspose, the process was so seamless to use and provided the best quality on the document conversions without any issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Review of Aspose.Words"

5/5

What do you like best about Aspose.Total?

Aspose.Words is a product designed for efficient and flexible document processing. My team uses it in TalentLink which is an ATS supporting recruitment processes with its intuitive platform, offering robust features for applicants tracking. The APIs of Aspose.Words allow developers to manipulate numerous document formats like DOCX, PDF, OpenDocument, Markdown, HTML with solid precision. The library provides features for creation, conversion, and modification of document templates with adding advanced merge fields. Aspose.Words handles efficiently large and complex documents. It is particularly important in recruitment as systems need to accept and process documents in high volume. The solution has comprehensive documentation which can be leveraged by developers and responsive customer support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aspose.Total?

No disadvantages were brought to my attention. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Aspose PDF Solution"

5/5

What do you like best about Aspose.Total?

We are currently using Aspose PDF to compress large PDF files for web. We have built a custom CRM application for a client which generates personalized PDF with production information for sales agents. The images used within the PDFs are heavy and the files have several pages at times. With Aspose PDF we can simply compress the PDF files fast and efficiently. We currently use their Java solution and it was very easy to develop following their online documentation. There are many other features offered by this product which we plan to use in the future including: split pages, merge pages and add watermark. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aspose.Total?

I cannot find any downsides for this product at the moment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Aspose is a robust and reliable suite of libraries"

5/5

What do you like best about Aspose.Total?

We appreciate the advanced document processing features, especially the parsing ability. We already know that it works perfectly with MS Word files.

In our solution, the conversion speed is critical because it should be done in real time while a user waits for the conversion output results. We discovered that Aspose is highly efficient, even when working with large or complex files. We appreciate the high-performance capabilities of the Aspose solution that can handle many users or large amounts of data.

The conversion accuracy is also critical to us as the PDF extracted must be identical to the input file as a legal document as part of the accurate legal review process being conducted by our clients (Law Firms).

Another great advantage is the excellent range of libraries, each tailored to a specific file format or functionality, so developers can pick and choose the ones they need and integrate them seamlessly into their projects, making it easy for developers to get started and build complex applications quickly.

Overall, Aspose is a robust and reliable suite of libraries that can help developers save time and effort while building high-performing solutions. It offers a wide range of functionalities, is easy to use and perfect for any business that needs to work with multiple file formats. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aspose.Total?

Aspose.Total license cost can be pricy for some users, especially for startups or small businesses with limited budgets.

The pricing structure can be complex, require multiple licenses, and vary based on the number of developers using the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Aspose.Total solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use Aspose.Total for Java for reading documents on our E-discovery software solution. At first, we needed an out-of-the-box SDK to convert MSWord files and Emails into PDF files. We add headers, metadata information, footers, highlights, and watermark to the converted files.

A significant value Aspose.Total contributes to our solution is the powerful conversion ability from different file types to PDF format. The powerful PDF generation features allow us to create authentic versions of the documents for our customers. Aspose.Total provides a comprehensive suite of APIs that support huge file formats, including Microsoft Office files, PDFs, HTML, images, emails, and more. It has saved us significant time and effort, as we do not need to search for and integrate multiple third-party libraries to work with different file formats.

We have already tested and used Aspose.Word for one of our clients for over two years, performing thousands of conversions with accurate outputs. We're now assessing the ability to convert other file formats using the same logic we used for MSWord files and Aspose. Total seems like the perfect solution for us. We were blown away by how well Aspose.Email extracts Microsoft Outlook mailboxes and parses MSG filles – impressive and valuable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fast development of custom PDF reports"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Aspose.Total?

Aspose.Words is very easy to use, allows fast development of custom PDF reports using Microsoft Word to design, and supports all desired features in a PDF report like dynamic bookmarks, dynamic tables, dynamic images, and all design features of Microsoft Word. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aspose.Total?

The cost of the license is a factor to consider but in our case was worth the time saved. The basic license does only include free support which responds quickly to technical questions but takes a long time to implement feature requests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Aspose.Total solving and how is that benefiting you?

Apose.Words for .NET allowed us to quickly develop a custom PDF report for our embedded measurement device. Apose.Words has 3 different interfaces to create Word documents which are then converted to PDFs: LINQ Reporting Engine, Word Mail Merge, and the Document Builder. The conversion works like Word’s Print to PDF option and works very consistently. The integration was very convenient using the NuGet Package manager which is already integrated into Visual Studio and the library is updated very frequently. There is no need for any additional software. With the available documentation and examples for all three interfaces, it was very easy to get started.

We opted to use the LINQ Reporting Engine which allowed us to design the report template with Microsoft Word including custom font family, headings, colors, and page numbers, and allows us to create tables with a dynamic number of rows. The LINQ Reporting Engine works with a custom syntax resembling a somewhat similar appearance as HTML (Picture 1). We made use of the foreach-syntax which allows us to iterate through lists and insert dictionaries of strings. It is also possible to redefine nested variables (e.g., sample.Header = h) so that the template stays simple. The data is fed to the Apose Library using an object with defined properties which then replaces the pre-defined template placeholders. The spacing is somewhat tricky, where the foreach-opening tags must be placed cautiously to prevent empty lines. The PDF output file (Picture 2) resembles the exact same layout and allows text to be selected. The Dictionaries are inserted with key and value pairs separated by a tab. In this example, only the table’s first four rows are filled with values.

Picture 2 (PDF output file with filled data): https://ibb.co/NNtM9wH

The Apose library supports MemoryStreams as output for the generated PDF file, which is a very convenient way to circumvent filenames.

Our decision to go with Apose.Words was reinforced by the Aspose.Words Document Builder which is available with the same license. The Document Builder should allow us in the future to build PDF reports fully dynamically using only code. The Document Builder also seems to be well-rounded since it supports all necessary word properties. This would significantly simplify changing page size (A4 to letter), and company logo, having tables with a dynamic number of columns, and dynamically hiding certain areas from the report completely according to our customer’s needs.

"A workhorse for server document manipulation"

5/5

What do you like best about Aspose.Total?

We use Apose.Words and Aspose.Cells for reading and generating documents on our servers. We love the advanced document merging features in Aspose.Words, especially the nested data tables.

We also love the custom font handling in Aspose.Words, and the powerful PDF generation features which allow us to create beautiful documents for our customers.

We were blown away by how well Aspose.Words mimics Microsoft Work functionality, such as merge field formatting, IF statements and more – it’s really impressive.

Aspose.Cells makes it easy for us to read & write Excel and CSV files for our data import/export operations. We liked how easy it was to access worksheets in an Excel file via the Aspose API.

Aspose.Cells also made it easy for us to transform data from our application into an Excel file for data export. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aspose.Total?

The components have been around for a long time, and as such they are loaded with features. It was a bit of a daunting learning curve and knowing how to implement features.

Also, there is often more than one way of implementing a feature, particularly with Aspose.Words, so we really had to dig through the documentation and forums to ensure we were doing things the best / recommended way.

When building complex document templates in as MS Word documents, it can be easy to create invalid merge fields and invalid table regions. But this is less of a fault of Aspose, and more of a general MS Word issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Aspose.Total:

If you need server-side manipulation or creation of documents based on the MS Office format, then Aspose is your best choice. Its features are comprehensive but can also be daunting at first and may require a more experienced developer to implement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Aspose.Total solving and how is that benefiting you?

We needed to generate PDF documents merged with data from our application dynamically. Aspose.Words allowed us to build document templates as Word documents, merge them with our data and the return a PDF document.

In particular we needed to generate tabular data in our documents, in particular nested tabular data which is quite complex – Aspose.Words had an elegant solution for this.

Security was also a concern for us, as we were worried about opening Word files on our servers, and we had read about the risks of using MS Office Automation in a server environment. Aspose.Words was the perfect solution for this since it doesn’t require MS Office to be installed on our servers.

We also needed a way of allowing users to import & export data via Excel or CSV easily. From an import perspective, Aspose.Cells allows us to open Excel files on the server (without needing Excel installed), and programmatically navigate through Worksheets, Rows & Columns.

As for exporting, Aspose.Cells allowed us to easily build an Excel or CSV file simply by providing a data table from our .NET middleware. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Aspose.Total for .NET - Create Word, Excel, PDFs and other popular file formats"

4/5

What do you like best about Aspose.Total?

It comes with a .NET library, so you can quickly and programmatically create a document from scratch or edit a template/existing document. It supports over 100 file formats and doesn't require other libraries to get going. We started by using a template and mail merges but realised that it is simple to build up a whole document from scatch. Our favorite feature was building up a table with a simple for loop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aspose.Total?

Upgrading versions can prove a little fiddly, especially if you are skipping versions in between. Compiling the code is relatively straightforward but it is difficult to spot where a new version may have rendered a document slightly differently in runtime. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Aspose.Total:

Whilst you could write everything that this library does from scratch or use open-source, the price is not prohibitive and well worth the time it saves. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Aspose.Total solving and how is that benefiting you?

The business had a version control issue where current templates were not always being used when creating and sharing documents to clients. By embedding this library into our web application, the user could no longer select an outdated template. Better still, an incorrect document could be regenerated with the latest version within seconds.

Benefits realized include that once the code had been written to create a document, you can easily flick the output from one file type to another (e.g. docx to pdf).

With the .NET version, we were up and running within a day, the library is scalable, it is platform independent and has rich feature set - there are plenty of features we are still exploring and are pleasantly surprised with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Aspose.CAD application in HVAC/R industry"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Aspose.Total?

SIC Sistemi S.R.L is a company that designs, manufactures and sells HVAC/R machines. Recently, our R&D team has started to develop also software products, for internal use and for third parties.

After a thorough research on the market, we found Aspose to offer the best solution for one feature of an important project. We are referring to Aspose.CAD library. After generating complex DXF files, we wanted to convert those files to PDF, in a simple way that can also assure high quality. These files included electrical schemas of the machines, and the mechanical designs of cooling/ heating systems. Aspose.CAD library was very easy to use (8 lines of code) and our client was happy with the results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Aspose.Total?

It is important to specify that the medium size of a DXF file containing the mechanical design was around 10 MB, PDF file showed a high quality and generation speed was satisfying.

Aspose gives the possibility to try the library without any restriction in terms of functionality, and we found this very helpful to make a proper evaluation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
