## Limitations of Aspose.Words for Android via Java API compared to Aspose.Words for Java API

1. *Document.print *methods are not available.
1. Saving in **TIFF** and **BMP** formats is not supported, though *SaveFormat.TIFF* and *SaveFormat.BMP* are available in public Aspose.Words for Android via Java API, but *UnsupportedOperationException* is thrown when these save formats are used.
1. Reading **TIFF** images is not supported.
1. Signing **ODT** documents is not supported yet.
1. Barcodes are not supported.
1. Gradients along a curve are not supported
1. Printing is not supported

## Public API differences

- android.graphics.Bitmap is used instead of java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
- android.graphics.Canvas is used instead of java.awt.image.Graphics2D;
- android.graphics.RectF is used instead of  java.awt.geom.Rectangle2D.Float;
- android.graphics.PointF is used instead of java.awt.geom.Point2D.Float;
- android.graphics.Rect is used instead of java.awt.Rectangle;
- android.graphics.Point is used instead of java.awt.Point.
