Hi everyone,
I’m working on an app where users can export their notes from iPhones (in .txt or .rtf format) and convert them into a well-formatted PDF. I’m using Aspose.Words for .NET for the conversion process, but I’m running into a few challenges, especially with preserving the formatting and embedding images seamlessly.
Does anyone have experience with this workflow? Are there specific tips or settings in Aspose APIs that can help maintain the layout and improve the final PDF output?
Also, if there are any alternative approaches you’d recommend for handling iPhone-originated files, I’d love to hear them!
Looking forward to your insights.

Can you please specify the challenges you are facing with preserving formatting and embedding images during the conversion process?
@avasinclair Could you please attach your problematic input and output documents here for testing? We will check the issue and provide you more information.
Conversion of document to PDF using Aspose.Words is simple open and save operation, like this:
Document doc = new Document(@"C:\Temp\in.docx");
doc.Save(@"C:\Temp\out.pdf");

The main challenges I’ve encountered are:
- Formatting Issues: Text formatting like font styles, alignment, and spacing sometimes doesn’t translate perfectly from the original
.rtf or .txt file into the PDF.
- Embedding Images: When the notes contain images (e.g., screenshots or embedded visuals), they either don’t appear in the PDF or lose quality.
Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll prepare and share the input/output documents for testing. In the meantime, I’ll revisit the example you shared to ensure I’m not missing anything from the basics.
By the way, I recently came across the Scarlet app for iOS, which might be useful for managing IPA files or .txt and .rtf files, when converting them to PDFs with mixed content (text and images). It’s designed to streamline workflows, especially for tasks involving different file types. If you’ve used it or have any experience with similar tools, let me know your thoughts!
If you have any additional tips for handling such files, please share those too.
@avasinclair Normally there should not be any problems with conversion simple TXT or RTF documents to PDF. To analyze the problem we need your problematic input and output documents. Therefore we will wait for your documents.
