export_compact_size property

RtfSaveOptions.export_compact_size property

Allows to make output RTF documents smaller in size, but if they contain RTL (right-to-left) text, it will not be displayed correctly.

Default value is False.

@property
def export_compact_size(self) -> bool:
    ...

@export_compact_size.setter
def export_compact_size(self, value: bool):
    ...

Remarks

If the document that you want to convert to RTF using Aspose.Words does not contain right-to-left text in languages like Arabic, then you can set this option to True to reduce the size of the resulting RTF.

Examples

Shows how to save a document to .rtf with custom options.

doc = aw.Document(MY_DIR + 'Rendering.docx')
# Create an "RtfSaveOptions" object to pass to the document's "save" method to modify how we save it to an RTF.
options = aw.saving.RtfSaveOptions()
self.assertEqual(aw.SaveFormat.RTF, options.save_format)
# Set the "export_compact_size" property to "True" to
# reduce the saved document's size at the cost of right-to-left text compatibility.
options.export_compact_size = True
# Set the "export_images_for_old_readers" property to "True" to use extra keywords to ensure that our document is
# compatible with pre-Microsoft Word 97 readers and WordPad.
# Set the "export_images_for_old_readers" property to "False" to reduce the size of the document,
# but prevent old readers from being able to read any non-metafile or BMP images that the document may contain.
options.export_images_for_old_readers = export_images_for_old_readers
doc.save(ARTIFACTS_DIR + 'RtfSaveOptions.export_images.rtf', options)
