Aspose.Word alternatives

Question

Does anyone know of a good Aspose.Word alternative (or similar) product? Can you mention any pro/con for using either?

I am currently evaluating Aspose.Word, and although it works like a charm, it's missing some of the functionalities that I require.

UPDATE: We ended up writing our own DOCX generator. We are still using Aspose.Word to convert to DOC/HTML when needed.

Answer 1

I don't know if it's suited for your purpose but you might want to have a look at the b2xtranslator project on SourceForge:

Answer 2

If Java is an option (or a preference), you could try docx4j

Answer 3

What is the functionality that you are missing in Aspose.Words? I can add it. hehe. Really!

Answer 4

Aspose does not seem to be able to parse MS word documents, older than office 97. Is there any other alternative that can be used instead?
