Aspose.Words for Python via .NET 24.8.0 for Windows 32-bit brings a range of new features and optimizations for Python developers. Enjoy improved performance and extended functionalities in this release.
Chart Axis Customization
Seamlessly adjust chart axis tick labels with new orientation and rotation properties and enhance data visualization capabilities.
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 Licensing Rights
You can gain expanded control over font embedding through the new EmbeddingLicensingRights property in font-related classes and manage fonts effortlessly.
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)

Section Management
Clear section headers and footers while preserving watermarks with the latest Python Word document processing API and simplify document formatting on Windows 32-bit systems.
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)

HTML & XAML Export
In Aspose.Words for Python via .NET 24.8.0, backward compatibility for handling backslashes and yen signs in HTML and XAML exports has been improved.
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 Export Enhancements
New options for using SDT tags as form field names in PDFs have been introduced in the latest release to refine document conversion outputs in your Windows x32-powered apps.
Code example:
doc = aw.Document(file_name=MY_DIR + 'Form fields.docx')
save_options = aw.saving.PdfSaveOptions()
save_options.preserve_form_fields = True
# When set to 'false', SDT control Id property is used as a name of form field in PDF.
# When set to 'true', SDT control Tag property is used as a name of form field in PDF.
save_options.use_sdt_tag_as_form_field_name = True
doc.save(file_name=ARTIFACTS_DIR + 'PdfSaveOptions.SdtTagAsFormFieldName.pdf', save_options=save_options)

XPS Digital Signatures
We have also added support for digital signatures in XPS documents using XpsSaveOptions in the newest API version.
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)
