Footnotes in DOCX are missing after import & export

Hello,

we are describing a reproducable problem (WordProcessing demo page), where DOCX footnotes are not imported as expected.

Current behaviour:

Upon converting a custom DOCX (including footnotes) into a DOCX again, using the WordProcessing demo, the converted document does no longer contain any footnotes.

Expected behaviour:

The downloaded DOCX should still contain all footnotes from the uploaded DOCX after converting it.

How to reproduce:

Download docx sample file (or create new Word 2016 document -> References -> Add footnote)
Go to demo page https://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-mvc/wordsprocessing
Select "load custom document"
Upload sample file
Select "Convert and Download"
Open the converted file - the footnotes in the document are gone

Is there anything that can be done as a workaround until this has been resolved?

Thank you in advance.

Kind Regards,

Dominik

Hello Dominik,

Thank you for the detailed information.

We have already logged a request for support of footnotes and endnotes and you can subscribe to track its status using the related item: WordsProcessing: Footnotes and Endnotes. Since the elements are currently not supported, they are skipped while importing a document and I am afraid that I cannot suggest a workaround for that behavior. Please, make sure to cast your vote for the implementation of the request using the Vote button of the public item.

Hope this information is useful.

Regards,
Tanya
