Aspose.Words for Reporting Services 3.1.0: Document Layout Gets Smarter

While working on Aspose.Words for Reporting Services, we have been constantly thinking on how to maintain a good balance between the "editability" and appearance of the documents being generated. Produce documents as simple as possible, but don't let layout and formatting suffer - that's been our rule.

Following this rule is often difficult. RDL reports and Microsoft Word documents are basically very different things. RDL reports are easy to draw (for example, as a PDF document or image), but try to compose them from flow layout paragraphs and tables so that the design would not suffer - and you will understand what I mean.

RDL reports often contain page breaks. Lots of. There are page breaks before and after report items, before and after table groups, etc. How many page breaks should a Word document contain so that it would stay easy to edit?

Obviously, if there are too many breaks, working with the document may become a torture. But if there are too few, the layout may appear corrupted.

So far Aspose.Words for Reporting Services offered three modes affecting page breaks placement. The active mode is controlled by the PageBreaks configuration setting. The modes are:

• Smart (default) - the engine decides how to place page breaks
• OnEachPage - each page has a page break at its end
• None - no page breaks in the document at all

The latter two modes are just plain, while the first one is interesting. How should the algorithm work to produce an optimal quantity of page breaks? At what points page breaks are necessary and where they can be omitted?

Apparently, page breaks must appear where they are supposed to appear by designer. So the algorithm places explicitly specified breaks once encountered. Where else?

Before we answer the question, let's talk a little about tables in Word documents. Most of RDL reports contain tables and matrices (Reporting Services 2005) or tablix items (Reporting Services 2008). These report items are converted to Word tables. So we can confidently state that most of documents generated by Aspose.Words for Reporting Services contain tables. Many tables commonly.

Tables in Word documents may not contain page breaks inside. If a table is split by a page  break, there are two tables actually: before and after the break. And the more tables are in the document, the harder it is to edit by the users.

The conclusion is: avoid breaking tables whenever possible.

That's how the algorithm works. Starting with version 3.1.0, it uses the Word's "Repeat as header row at the top of each page" feature to represent repeatable headers. That allows to keep the table continuous and avoid excessive breaks.

Unfortunately, there are two special cases that still make breaking the table inevitable:

• Repeatable headers change throughout the table
• The table contains repeatable footers

Luckily, those are not very frequent cases, based on my experience.

But what if you need your tables to be unbroken at all? Remember, broken table is multiple tables. Imagine you want to work with a table as a whole instead of a bunch of its pieces, one per page.

You could set PageBreaks to None, but then all page breaks will disappear from the document. That is not nice, for instance, if you still want your table aligned with the beginning of a page and therefore inserted a page break before. So what you need is page breaks retained all over the document except tables.

That's why we have just introduced the fourth mode - DontBreakTables. It preserves explicit page breaks outside the tables thus keeping tables unbroken but making the rest of the document as close to the original design as possible.

It works just fine if your table has no repeatable headers or they don't change throughout the table - in the latter case they will simply be marked with the "Repeat as header row at the top of each page" attribute like if you did that manually. But if they do change, or if your table have repeatable footers - there is no guarantee headers and footers will appear at the beginning and end of the page, respectively. This is a trade-off because you have instructed the engine to omit page breaks within tables.

Choose a page breaks mode that suits your needs the best and enjoy the editing!

Create XPDL 1.0 and XPDL 2.1 compatible workflow applications with new Aspose.Workflow for .NET v2.0.0.

Aspose.Workflow for .NET v2.0.0 has been released. This release includes new XPDL Designer and enhanced Workflow Engine. Designer provides ability for its users to create or manage XPDL 1.0 or XPDL 2.1 packages and Engine allows the users to upload XPDL 1.0 and XPDL 2.1 packages and to create XPDL 1.0 and XPDL 2.1 compatible workflow applications.

XPDL 2.1 includes some new features and elements and the most interesting of them is the ability to edit and execute scripts without specifying any external tool agent class for an activity. The new XPDL Designer supports VB, CS and JS script types.

Aspose.Workflow Engine automatically detects the version of XPDL and allows its users to upload XPDL 1.0 and XPDL 2.1 packages using the same API. The exciting feature of the Engine is that it allows the parallel execution of XPDL 1.0 and XPDL 2.1 processes in the same workflow application.

Because of the backward compatibility provided by Aspose.Workflow Engine, the existing workflow applications will not be affected and users can enhance their existing applications.

Other new features include

·         Ability to suspend or resume a workflow process at runtime

·         Ability to get the assigned users for a task

What’s new in the Documentation

Two new topics have been added to the documentation. To get the list of assigned users for a specific task, GetAssigned() method has been introduced in the ITask interface. See this link for more details.

To suspend or resume a process instance at runtime, two new methods SuspendProcessInstance and ResumeProcessInstance have been introduced in the IInstanceAdmin interface. See this link for more details.

Aspose.Words for JasperReports Now Supports Rich Text Format (RTF) and OpenDocument Text (ODT)!

We proudly announce a new release of Aspose.Words for JasperReports. In this release, you will find that a number of exciting features have been added.

First off, apart from DOC, DOCX, TXT and HTML, the product now supports two additional formats - Rich Text Format (RTF) and OpenDocument Text (ODT)!

Secondly, lines and rectangles are now exported along with other report elements. Note however that they are disabled by default because the way some JasperReports are currently designed may lead to corrupted document layout. Consider enabling this feature by setting the EXPORT_LINES and EXPORT_RECTANGLES parameters to true. Switch them back to false (one of them or both) if the document layout becomes corrupted - this basically means that you should redesign the report or accept the document without lines or rectangles exported.

Thirdly, this release introduces the SPACING_FACTOR parameter. This parameters allows you to decrease spacing between report elements when being set to a value less than 1.0 (which is default). If you notice that page breaks in your document are being pushed to subsequent pages, thus leading to excessive blank pages to appear, try setting the parameter to a smaller value, say 0.9 or 0.75. This will "shrink" spacing and make page contents more compact. Keep on until the report looks as expected.

Aspose.Words for Reporting Services 3.0.4 Released

We have released a new hotfix of Aspose.Words for Reporting Services. It addresses a number of issues and also introduces the new SpacingFactor configuration setting.

What is the new setting for? Imagine you have a report that you export to a Microsoft Word document via Aspose.Words. The default layout mode is flow mode that means the docuemnt consists of "normal" paragraphs and tables. Alas, this mode has a trade-off: we cannot set coordinates of document items explicitly, so we only may assume page contents will actually fit the page. Sometimes the contents may "flow" off the page and push the ending page break to the subsequent page, causing excessive (usually blank) pages to appear.

If you notice this happens in your case, try setting SpacingFactor to a value less than 1.0, say to 0.9 or 0.75. It will reduce spacing between report (document) items thus making page contents more compact. Decrease the value until you confirm there are no more excessive pages in the resulting document.

All ODF implementors and/or those looking into the matter are invited to participate in this event on behalf of the Netherlands government and OpenDoc Society.

Here is the website of the event http://www.odfworkshop.nl/

Thanks to the organizers of the workshop, Aspose was invited to participate in the workshop. Although we could not attend this event in person, we are making Aspose.Words available for testing by the event participants.

The Plugfest's testing environment (probably one of) is accessible here http://www.officeshots.org/. At the moment this testing framework is in Closed Beta and available only to the event participants and members of the OpenDoc Society, but you still can see Aspose.Words listed as one of the conversion/rendering engines available on the Officeshots homepage.

Officeshots allows to upload an ODF document and request it to be converted to PDF, Screenshot (render a page to an image) or to ODF (round-tripping) and select one or more engines that you want to do the job. Once the request is processed, you can download and view the results.

Aspose.Words "subscribes" and allows to do all possible conversions: ODT to ODT, ODT to PDF and ODT pages to PNG images. It will be interesting to see what event participants have to throw at Aspose.Words.

By the way, here is a table that we added recently that details what OpenDocument features are supported by Aspose.Words http://www.aspose.com/documentation/file-format-components/aspose.words-for-.net-and-java/save-in-the-opendocument-text-odt-format.html

 

Aspose.Form for .NET v1.9.1 has been released with the exciting new data binding features

Aspose.Form for .NET v1.9.1 has been released. This release includes exciting new data binding features.

In past, users were having problems while loading an InfoPath form that had its data source set to a database server table or SharePoint list or a Web Service in XmlFormView control and demanding the new features to populate the data dynamically into the drop down lists.

Now these new features have been included in the new release of Aspose.Form and users can bind their InfoPath forms to the data sources like Database Server Tables, SharePoint Lists and Web Services.

Note: Because the data sources require authentication so, users need to add identity tag in the web.config file like below example.

<identity userName="<Domain>\<User>" impersonate="true" password="<password>"/>
