Aspose.Words barcodes from PDF not valid

Aspose.Words Product Family

I am trying to use Aspose.Words to combine two PDFs into a single document then export it as a PDF using the following code:

        public static string CombinePDFs(List<string> base64PDFs)
        {
            var combinedDoc = new Document();
            combinedDoc.RemoveAllChildren();

            foreach(var base64PDF in base64PDFs)
            {
                byte[] pdfBytes = Convert.FromBase64String(base64PDF);
                using (MemoryStream tempStream = new MemoryStream(pdfBytes))
                {                                        
                    var input = new Document(tempStream);
                    combinedDoc.AppendDocument(input, ImportFormatMode.KeepSourceFormatting);
                }
            }

            using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream())
            {
                combinedDoc.Save(ms, SaveFormat.Pdf);

                var ba = ms.ToArray();
                var retVal = Convert.ToBase64String(ba);
                return retVal;
            }            
        }

While this MOSTLY works, the PDFs include barcodes, and the barcodes are not rendered properly in the final document. Also the formatting is off a little bit which is a problem but not nearly as big of a deal as the barcodes. Is there something we can do to get these barcodes to come out right?

@sstr27 Could you please provide your pdf files or strings you want to combine for testing? MS Word and PDF have different models, so it can be some issues during conversions.
