Upgrade your Linux applications with new improvements and features using the latest release of Aspose.Words for Python via .NET (version 24.8.0). This release allows API developers working on Linux to power up their Python applications.
Advanced Chart Customization
Users can now control chart axis tick label orientation and rotation with the newly added properties in this update to the Python word-processing API.
Code example:
doc = aw.Document()
builder = aw.DocumentBuilder(doc)
# Insert a column chart.
shape = builder.insert_chart(chart_type=aw.drawing.charts.ChartType.COLUMN, width=432, height=252)
x_tick_labels = shape.chart.axis_x.tick_labels
y_tick_labels = shape.chart.axis_y.tick_labels
# Set axis tick label orientation and rotation.
x_tick_labels.orientation = aw.drawing.ShapeTextOrientation.VERTICAL_FAR_EAST
x_tick_labels.rotation = -30
y_tick_labels.orientation = aw.drawing.ShapeTextOrientation.HORIZONTAL
y_tick_labels.rotation = 45
doc.save(file_name=ARTIFACTS_DIR + 'Charts.TickLabelsOrientationRotation.docx')

Font Embedding Rights
The new property EmbeddingLicensingRights added to font-related classes in this version enhances document font management with ease.
Code example:
settings = aw.fonts.FontSettings.default_instance
source = settings.get_fonts_sources()[0]
# Get the list of available fonts.
font_infos = source.get_available_fonts()
for font_info in font_infos:
if font_info.embedding_licensing_rights != None:
print(font_info.embedding_licensing_rights.embedding_usage_permissions)
print(font_info.embedding_licensing_rights.bitmap_embedding_only)
print(font_info.embedding_licensing_rights.no_subsetting)

Manage Word Document Structure in Python
Effortlessly clear headers and footers while keeping watermarks intact within your Linux-powered Python applications.
Code example:
doc = aw.Document(file_name=MY_DIR + 'Header and footer types.docx')
# Add a plain text watermark.
doc.watermark.set_text(text='Aspose Watermark')
# Make sure the headers and footers have content.
headers_footers = doc.first_section.headers_footers
self.assertEqual('First header', headers_footers.get_by_header_footer_type(aw.HeaderFooterType.HEADER_FIRST).get_text().strip())
self.assertEqual('Second header', headers_footers.get_by_header_footer_type(aw.HeaderFooterType.HEADER_EVEN).get_text().strip())
self.assertEqual('Third header', headers_footers.get_by_header_footer_type(aw.HeaderFooterType.HEADER_PRIMARY).get_text().strip())
self.assertEqual('First footer', headers_footers.get_by_header_footer_type(aw.HeaderFooterType.FOOTER_FIRST).get_text().strip())
self.assertEqual('Second footer', headers_footers.get_by_header_footer_type(aw.HeaderFooterType.FOOTER_EVEN).get_text().strip())
self.assertEqual('Third footer', headers_footers.get_by_header_footer_type(aw.HeaderFooterType.FOOTER_PRIMARY).get_text().strip())
# Removes all header and footer content except watermarks.
doc.first_section.clear_headers_footers(True)
headers_footers = doc.first_section.headers_footers
self.assertEqual('', headers_footers.get_by_header_footer_type(aw.HeaderFooterType.HEADER_FIRST).get_text().strip())
self.assertEqual('', headers_footers.get_by_header_footer_type(aw.HeaderFooterType.HEADER_EVEN).get_text().strip())
self.assertEqual('', headers_footers.get_by_header_footer_type(aw.HeaderFooterType.HEADER_PRIMARY).get_text().strip())
self.assertEqual('', headers_footers.get_by_header_footer_type(aw.HeaderFooterType.FOOTER_FIRST).get_text().strip())
self.assertEqual('', headers_footers.get_by_header_footer_type(aw.HeaderFooterType.FOOTER_EVEN).get_text().strip())
self.assertEqual('', headers_footers.get_by_header_footer_type(aw.HeaderFooterType.FOOTER_PRIMARY).get_text().strip())
self.assertEqual(aw.WatermarkType.TEXT, doc.watermark.type)
# Removes all header and footer content including watermarks.
doc.first_section.clear_headers_footers(False)
self.assertEqual(aw.WatermarkType.NONE, doc.watermark.type)

Improved Export Compatibility
We have enriched backward compatibility in HTML and XAML exports in Aspose.Words for Python via .NET 24.8.0, particularly for backslashes and yen signs.
Code example:
doc = aw.Document(file_name=MY_DIR + 'Korean backslash symbol.docx')
# By default, Aspose.Words mimics MS Word's behavior and doesn't replace backslash characters with yen signs in
# generated HTML documents. However, previous versions of Aspose.Words performed such replacements in certain
# scenarios. This flag enables backward compatibility with previous versions of Aspose.Words.
save_options = aw.saving.HtmlSaveOptions()
save_options.replace_backslash_with_yen_sign = True
doc.save(file_name=ARTIFACTS_DIR + 'HtmlSaveOptions.ReplaceBackslashWithYenSign.html', save_options=save_options)

PDF and XPS Enhancements
Support for SDT tags as form field names in PDFs and digital signatures in XPS documents has been added in the latest Python library version for Linux.
Code example:
doc = aw.Document(file_name=MY_DIR + 'Document.docx')
certificate_holder = aw.digitalsignatures.CertificateHolder.create(file_name=MY_DIR + 'morzal.pfx', password='aw')
options = aw.digitalsignatures.SignOptions()
options.sign_time = datetime.datetime.now()
options.comments = 'Some comments'
digital_signature_details = aw.saving.DigitalSignatureDetails(certificate_holder, options)
save_options = aw.saving.XpsSaveOptions()
save_options.digital_signature_details = digital_signature_details
self.assertEqual(certificate_holder, digital_signature_details.certificate_holder)
self.assertEqual('Some comments', digital_signature_details.sign_options.comments)
doc.save(file_name=ARTIFACTS_DIR + 'XpsSaveOptions.XpsDigitalSignature.docx', save_options=save_options)
