hi,

I am generating word document using cloud aspose api in salesforce . In a template I am having many if and else block so when any condition not satisfied that block is not displayed in generated document but it is adding few spaces in the document.

I have already passing parameter as “cleanup=ContainingFields,EmptyParagraphs,UnusedFields,UnusedRegions” but still it is adding blank space. I have created one sample template and also attaching generated document !!

Can anyone guide me on this ???

Thank you,

Hi Sonal,

Thanks for your patience. It is to inform you that the issue which you are facing is actually not a bug in Aspose.Words. So, we have closed this issue (WORDSCLOUD-150) as 'Not a Bug'.

The empty paragraphs are the part of first IF result. The true part contains leading paragraph break. That is why output document contains two empty paragraphs. The IF field has following structure:

{ IF x = x "
text
text
text
" "else"}

Please modify the IF field in your template document as shown below. We have attached the modified document with this post for your kind reference.

{ IF x = x "text
text
text" "else"}

IF «xyz.firstName»= "first block" "first if block
