As already described in previous articles, there are operations with documents that are faster and more conveniently to perform using Aspose.Words than Apache POI. But there are also operations that are not provided by Apache POI (HWPF and XWPF). You can try to achieve the desired result using auxiliary tools and options, but even if successful, it will be quite expensive.
The following table contains some of the popular features supported by Aspose.Words and missed in Apache POI (HWPF and XWPF):
| Aspose.Words feature | Corresponding documentation article or section |
|---|---|
| Loading and saving documents in formats other than Microsoft Word. As a result, you can perform conversion between all popular document formats. For example, Word to PDF, HTML to Markdown, DOCX to JPG, PDF to Word, Image to PDF, and others |
The Create or Load a Document section The Save a Document section The Convert a Document section |
| Mail Merge | The Mail Merge and Reporting section |
| Rendering | The Rendering section |
| Join multiple documents, including combine formatting of documents when importing content | The Insert and Append Documents article |
| Find and Replace | The Find and Replace article |
| Track changes in documents | The Track Changes in a Document article |
| Protect or encrypt a document in a variety of ways | The Protect or Encrypt a Document section |
| Manipulate tables | The Working with Tables section |
| Manipulate form fields | The Working with Form Fields article |
| Manipulate graphic elements such as images, charts, watermark, and others | The Working with Graphic Elements section |
The table is not complete, so you can check our documentation for the feature you are interested in.
In the child articles, we also provide a few examples of how various popular features can be implemented using Aspose.Words.
It is also very helpful for developers who want to migrate from Apache POI to Aspose.Words.
