Layout changes when converting WORD to PDF

Hello,

We have an unexpected layout change during the conversion from Word documents to PDF files. The issue is shown in the attached pdf file. And the original document is also in attachment.

The placement of an image in the word document seems to have changed in the pdf. We also have received an issue about cropping of an image being removed during the conversion of another document. The result is in the attached zip file.

Kind regards,
Cedric

Hi Cedric,

Thanks for your patience.

I am afraid your issue has now been postponed till a later date due to some other important issues and new features. We will inform you as soon as there are any further developments. We apologize for your inconvenience.

Please use the following code example as a workaround of this issue. Hope this helps you.

var doc = new Document(MyDir + "in.doc");
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
foreach(Shape shape in doc.GetChildNodes(NodeType.Shape, true))
{
    if (shape.WrapType == WrapType.Tight)
    {
        builder.MoveTo(shape);
        builder.InsertBreak(BreakType.PageBreak);
    }
}
doc.Save(MyDir + "Out.pdf");

Hello Tahir,

Thank you for your answer. Unfortunatly, in the current version, this produces a slightly different problem. The image does not go out of bounds but the text-wrapping does not work completely.

Attached
you will find the new result pdf where a few words are placed on the
other side of the image while this is not the configuration in word.

Kind regards,
Cedric Fouquet

Hello Tahir,

I was wondering, is there any news on this issue?
It’s been several months and conversion to PDF that is not consistent with MS Word.

Kind regards,

Hi Cedric,

Thanks for your patience. I regret to share with you that your issue (WORDSNET- 9646 ) is related to following missing features.
