FAQ

1. Q: Which file formats can Aspose.Words load?
   A: Aspose.Words can load a wide range of Word processing formats, including DOC, DOCX, DOCM, DOT, DOTX, DOTM, RTF, HTML, MHTML, ODT, OTT, TXT, MD, XML, and PDF. It also supports loading of some e‑book formats such as EPUB, MOBI, and AZW3. Formats marked with a tick under the Load column in the table are supported for loading.

2. Q: Which file formats can Aspose.Words save?
   A: The library can save documents to most of the formats it can load, plus several additional output types. Supported save formats include DOC, DOCX, DOCM, DOTX, DOTM, RTF, HTML, MHTML, ODT, OTT, TXT, MD, PDF, EPUB, and various image formats (PNG, JPEG, GIF, BMP, EMF, TIFF, SVG). The Save column in the table indicates the formats that can be written.

3. Q: Can Aspose.Words convert a PDF document to HTML?
   A: Yes. PDF is a supported input format, and HTML is a supported output format. Load the PDF with Document doc = new Document("input.pdf"); and then save it using doc.Save("output.html", SaveFormat.Html);. This conversion preserves the layout and text as closely as possible.

4. Q: Is it possible to export a document as an image such as PNG or JPEG?
   A: Absolutely. Aspose.Words can render each page of a document to raster image formats. After loading the document, use doc.Save("page.png", SaveFormat.Png); or doc.Save("page.jpeg", SaveFormat.Jpeg);. You can also generate multi‑page TIFF files by specifying SaveFormat.Tiff.

5. Q: Does Aspose.Words support e‑book formats like EPUB, MOBI, and AZW3?
   A: Yes. EPUB is fully supported for both loading and saving. MOBI and AZW3 can be loaded, and you can save to EPUB, which is the recommended e‑book output format for further distribution. Use the appropriate SaveFormat enumeration values when calling Document.Save.
