Public API and Backward Incompatible Changes

This section lists public API changes that were introduced in Aspose.Words 21.2. It includes not only new and obsoleted public methods, but also a description of any changes in the behavior behind the scenes in Aspose.Words which may affect existing code. Any behavior introduced that could be seen as regression and modifies the existing behavior is especially important and is documented here.

Added a new public method OpenIStream to the ComHelper class

Related issue: WORDSNET-20546

The following public method has been added to the ComHelper class:

/// <summary>
/// Allows a COM application to load a <see cref="Document"/> from an IStream object.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="stream">A .NET IStream object that contains the document to load.</param>
/// <returns>A <see cref="Document"/> object that represents a Word document.</returns>
public Document OpenIStream(IStream stream)

Use Case (Delphi):

var
  ComHelper, Doc : OLEVariant;
  RtfString : string;
  StringAdapter : TStreamAdapter;
  StrStream: TStringStream;

  CoInitializeEx(nil, COINIT_MULTITHREADED);

  RtfString := '{\rtf1\ansi\deff0\nouicompat{\fonttbl{\f0\fnil Times New Roman;}}{\colortbl ;\red255\green0\blue0;}{\*\generator Riched20 10.0.18362}\viewkind4\uc1\pard\sa200\sl264\slmult1\cf1\b\f0\fs24\lang1036 TEST\par}';
  ComHelper := CreateOleObject('Aspose.Words.ComHelper');

  //Important! Rtf string MUST be ascii encoded.
  StrStream := TStringStream.Create(RtfString);
  StringAdapter := TStreamAdapter.Create(StrStream, soOwned);
  Doc := ComHelper.OpenIStream(StringAdapter as ActiveX.IStream);
  Doc.Save('Out.rtf');

Added a new public property SaveOptions.UpdateCreatedTimeProperty

Related issue: WORDSNET-11848

Added a new public property SaveOptions.UpdateCreatedTimeProperty:

/// <summary>
/// Gets or sets a value determining whether the BuiltInDocumentProperties.CreatedTime property is updated before saving.
/// Default value is false.
/// </summary>
public bool UpdateCreatedTimeProperty

Use Case:

Document doc = new Document(docPath);
SaveOptions saveOptions = new PdfSaveOptions();
saveOptions.UpdateLastPrintedProperty = true;
doc.Save(pdfPath, saveOptions);

Added new public properties allowing to manipulate themed properties of Font object

Related issue: WORDSNET-21183

Added a new public properties to the Font object:

/// <summary>
/// Gets or sets the theme font in the applied font scheme that is associated with this Font object.
/// </summary>
public ThemeFont ThemeFont

/// <summary>
/// Gets or sets the theme font used for Latin text (characters with character codes from 0 (zero) through 127)
/// in the applied font scheme that is associated with this Font object.
/// </summary>
public ThemeFont ThemeFontAscii

/// <summary>
/// Gets or sets the East Asian theme font in the applied font scheme that is associated with this Font object.
/// </summary>
public ThemeFont ThemeFontFarEast

/// <summary>
/// Gets or sets the theme font used for characters with character codes from 128 through 255
/// in the applied font scheme that is associated with this Font object.
/// </summary>
public ThemeFont ThemeFontOther

/// <summary>
/// Gets or sets the theme font in the applied font scheme that is associated with this Font object
/// in a right-to-left language document.
/// </summary>
public ThemeFont ThemeFontBi
/// <summary>
/// Gets or sets the theme color in the applied color scheme that is associated with this Font object.
/// </summary>
public ThemeColor ThemeColor
/// <summary>
/// Gets or sets a double value that lightens or darkens a color.
/// </summary>
/// <remarks>
/// <para> The allowed values are in range from -1 (darkest) to 1 (lightest) for this property.
/// Zero (0) is neutral. Attempting to set this property to a value less than -1 or more than 1
/// results in a <see cref="ArgumentOutOfRangeException"/>.</para>
/// <para> Setting this property for Font object with non-theme colors
/// results in a <see cref="InvalidOperationException"/>.</para>
/// </remarks>
public double TintAndShade

Also added corresponding public enums:

/// <summary>
/// Specifies the types of theme font names for document themes.
/// </summary>
/// <remarks>
/// Specifies a theme font type which can be referenced as a theme font within the parent object properties.
/// This theme font is a reference to one of the predefined theme fonts, located in the document's
/// Theme part, which allows for font information to be set centrally in the document.
/// </remarks>
public enum ThemeFont
/// <summary>
/// Specifies the theme colors for document themes.
/// </summary>
/// <remarks>
/// The specified theme color is a reference to one of the predefined theme colors, located in the
/// document's Theme part, which allows color information to be set centrally in the document.
/// </remarks>
public enum ThemeColor

Use Case: Explains how to create and use themed style.

Document doc = new Document("input.docx");
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
builder.MoveToDocumentEnd();
builder.Writeln();

// Create some style with theme font properties.
Style style = doc.Styles.Add(StyleType.Paragraph, "ThemedStyle");
style.Font.ThemeFont = ThemeFont.Major;
style.Font.ThemeColor = ThemeColor.Accent5;
style.Font.TintAndShade = 0.3;

builder.ParagraphFormat.StyleName = "ThemedStyle";
builder.Writeln("Text with themed style");

// Get just inserted run.
Run run = (Run)((Paragraph)builder.CurrentParagraph.PreviousSibling).FirstChild;

Console.WriteLine("Theme color: {0}", run.Font.ThemeColor);
Console.WriteLine("Color: {0}\n", run.Font.Color);

Console.WriteLine("TintAndShade: {0:N2}\n", run.Font.TintAndShade);

Console.WriteLine("Theme font: {0}", run.Font.ThemeFont);
Console.WriteLine("Font: {0}\n", run.Font.Name);

Console.WriteLine("Font EastAsian: {0}\n", run.Font.NameFarEast);

Console.WriteLine("Theme font Other: {0}", run.Font.ThemeFontOther);
Console.Write("Font Other: {0}", run.Font.NameOther);

Added a new public property FindReplaceOptions.SmartParagraphBreakReplacement

Related issue: WORDSNET-21329

Added a new public property to FindReplaceOptions object:

Added SaveOptions.CustomTimeZoneInfo property

Related issue: WORDSNET-20863

SaveOptions.CustomTimeZoneInfo property has been added to set custom timezone when SdtType.Date structured document tag updated from custom XML.

Default value is TimeZoneInfo.Local which means that date is saved using system local timezone.

Use Case:

Document doc = new Document("DocumentContainingSdtDate.docx");

SaveOptions so = SaveOptions.CreateSaveOptions(SaveFormat.Pdf);
so.CustomTimeZoneInfo = TimeZoneInfo.CreateCustomTimeZone("Auckland", new TimeSpan(+13 /* New Zeland - Auckland */, 0, 0), "Auckland", "Auckland");

// SdtType.Date content control value will be adjusted to Auckland timezone regardless of which system local timezone set.
doc.Save("output.pdf", so);

Please note this option is available in either .NET framework starting from 3.5 version or .NET Standard.

The behavior of DocumentBuilder.MoveToParagraph and DocumentBuilder.MoveToCell methods was changed

Related issue: WORDSNET-10148

Now the methods DocumentBuilder.MoveToParagraph and DocumentBuilder.MoveToCell support any character indexes, not only 0 and -1.

/// <p>The navigation is performed inside the current story of the current section.

/// </remarks>
/// <param name="paragraphIndex">The index of the paragraph to move to.</param>
/// <param name="characterIndex">The index of the character inside the paragraph.

builder.MoveToParagraph(0, 14);
builder.Font.Bold = true;
