One-month training for five developers

One interesting Paid Consulting request came from a company located in Honduras.

The project

The request was to provide a one-month training for 5 developers and to show them best practices using Aspose products. One of the questions was if the communication could be done in English and Spanish languages. Since we didn’t have any Spanish-speaking developers, we came to a compromise to use only English for speaking. However, besides English, Spanish could also be used for writing, in which case we would use the Google Translate tool.

The first meeting

The first step in the process was to set up the initial meeting where required activities were defined. The first meeting went smoothly, and we agreed that the company would send us concrete requests, which we would analyze and demonstrate solutions using Aspose APIs.

Concrete requests

The customer started sending specific requests, including:

• How to extract text from a PDF document using Aspose.PDF for Java API, where every page should be separated and marked with the page number.
• How to check if an email is rejected using Aspose.Email for Java API.
• How to replace text and insert images in a PowerPoint file using Aspose.Slides for Java API.
• How to generate thumbnails from PDF images using Aspose.PDF for Java API.
• How to extract text from an image using Aspose.OCR for Java API.

Handling of requests

Each request was thoroughly analyzed by our consultant. As a result, the company was provided with source code, output files, and a detailed explanation of the solution. Along the way, we encountered a few issues in our APIs, which were reported to our internal system for resolution by our developers.

At the end of this consulting project, we are glad that the customer gained deeper knowledge of Aspose APIs and acquired the skills needed for further development of projects using Aspose.
