We are excited to announce the debut of Aspose.Words for Node.js via .NET! This powerful, native Node.js library enables developers to create, edit, and convert Word, PDF, and web documents without requiring Microsoft Word to be installed.

Aspose.Words for Node.js is built on the Document Object Model (DOM) architecture, giving developers fine-grained control over document elements. With this new API, Node.js developers can efficiently generate complex documents, customize formatting and layouts, and automate document-heavy business processes with speed and precision. The module uses Node-API for optimized performance, especially when processing large documents.

Key Functionality

Aspose.Words for Node.js brings a full suite of features for document processing:

  • File Conversion: Seamlessly convert documents between 35+ formats, such as Word to PDF or Word to HTML
  • High-Fidelity Rendering: Export documents to PDF, images, and other formats with top-quality output
  • Utility Functions: Split, merge, compare documents, use the find and replace option, add a watermark, and more to enhance workflow efficiency
  • Element Access: Modify Word and OpenOffice documents at an element level, with full control over formatting and styles
