Hi Support,
First: Great product - My company is seriously considering using your software in our (server side) mail merge pipeline, that now needs to generate pdf files.
However, a couple of minor problems need to be solved, as those are prohibitive to the process.
I'll attach a docx created my software and a pdf created by yours - The documents are danish, but the lingual content is of no consequence.
These are the problems
1:
The sizes are not exactly matched. This is not a stopping problem, as long as the differences remain minor.
2:
The logo "FOA etc", even though present in docx, is made 100% transparent and is consequently invisible. This is not respected in pdf, where it is clearly visible. This is a stopping problem.
3:
There are URLs on the page. Docx will normally underline those, but in this particular case, the feature has been turned off. Pdf ignores this, and underlines. Another stopping problem.
And some questions
1:
Given that you can solve mentioned problems: It is expectable that other minor conversion problems will pop up as new docx's need to be converted.
Also in situations it could be feasible to override settings in docx when converting (for instance: The URLs situation at hand)
Is it be possible to configure the conversion component to any extend?
2:
(Perhaps needless to say:) The configuation mentioned above needs to be under software control
Is it possible to get programmers documentation for the "Spire"-components? (.Net/c# would suffice)
Best regards
