Hi Team,

When we convert docx to html, some blank pages are being generated in the html file.
Example: This image belongs to the converted HTML page :

This image belongs to the word document. As we can see , it does not have any blank page in it

I am attaching the word document and converted html as well for reference
TEST.docx (9.3 MB)

TEST_HTML.7z (67.9 KB)

@RV_2348 This is the expected result. If you render your document using MS Word (convert it to PDF or XPS) you will see exactly the same result.
I have simplified the document to the following:

As you can see the only different between the first and the last section page setup is <w:pgNumType w:start="1" /> if remove this element the document will have 2 pages instead of 3 (when rendered).in.docx (65.2 KB)

With your document you can reset this property using the following code:

Document doc = new Document(@"C:\Temp\in.docx");
doc.LastSection.PageSetup.RestartPageNumbering = false;
doc.Save(@"C:\Temp\out.html", SaveFormat.HtmlFixed);

Is there any other way to solve this issue without setting RestartPageNumbering = false ? I will be using new page start number multiple times in my docx. For example: In my document there are multiple chapters and each chapter should start with a new page number. But, I don’t want any blank pages in the converted HTML.

@RV_2348 I am afraid there is no other way to work this problem around, since Aspose.Words behavior matches MS Word behavior.
