Word Documents conversion to Multiple File Formats

The Aspose.Words for SharePoint library gives developers the capability to convert supported documents to and from many popular office document formats directly within SharePoint’s document library. The conversions are performed with extremely high fidelity to the original document.

Convert via SharePoint Public API

Aspose.Words for SharePoint installs with a robust document conversion engine public API that provides developers with programmatic access to all the library's conversion features. They can dynamically convert single files at a time or multiple files with seamless throughput.

Access to SharePoint Workflows

The latest release of Aspose.Words for SharePoint installs with a brand new workflow feature. This method is called Convert via Aspose.Words. This is available via SharePoint Designer. Developers can now access all supported file formats and build bespoke complex document workflows and conversion processes.

Diverse Conversion Options

With the Aspose.Words for SharePoint API, developers can overwrite existing files in destination folders and browse destination folder during conversion, concatenate files, convert files in sub-folders, and change destination folder options. They can also merge files and extract files from FSO sub-folders in the SharePoint’s document library. Files can be targeted and the merging sequence can be adjusted through an intuitive User Interface.

Comprehensive Reporting Features

Developers can use Aspose.Words for SharePoint to insert dynamic data into documents from data sources including SharePoint lists,  XML data files or any external database. The resultant document can then be saved in any supported document file format.
Mail Merge using any data source is made simple using placeholders that define data insertion sections in a Microsoft Word file reporting template. This usually includes:

• Nested document sections to reflect parent-child relations in the data
• Sections to repeat data record in a data source
• Image placeholders to insert images from a data source

Microsoft Word Automation - Not Needed

Aspose.Words for SharePoint are developed from the ground up using entirely managed original code that does not require Microsoft Word to be installed for conversion. It is the Microsoft Word automation alternative in terms of stability, scalability, supported features, security, speed, and component price.
