Conditional multi level list numbering is wrong for pdf output

Aspose.Words Product Family

Hi,

I attached a small doc template with my problem.

There is a top level list with the numbers 1 to 3. Every list contains a sub list.
The first sub list has conditional entries (the condition values were filled while mail merge).

The sub list numbering works correct for doc output. It shows:
1.0
1.1
1.2

2.0
2.1
2.2
…
3.0
3.1
3.2
…

For pdf output the numbering in the first sub list is wrong:
1.0
1.2
1.5

2.0
…
3.0
…

I simple converted the doc template with the following code to pdf:

Document doc = new Document("d:\second_level_list_numbering_in.doc");
doc.save("d:\second_level_list_numbering_out.doc", SaveFormat.DOC);
doc.save("d:\second_level_list_numbering_out.pdf", SaveFormat.PDF);

Is this a bug in Aspose.Words for Java?

I am using Version 10.8.0.0 with Microsoft Word 2010.

I also tried the latest Version 11.11.0.0 but the issue isn’t solved.

Thanks
Tobias

Hi,

Today I tried

document.updateListLabels()

but the numbering remains broken.

Is there any other method I can call to make the list numbering work for pdf output?

Thanks for your reply

Hi,

I have found an other solution for my problem based on this link.

I used two SET-fields (one for each list level) with initial value 0 at the beginning of the document. The second level variable is reset to 0 for each second level list. The values of the variables are shown with a REF-field. Inside the true-part of every IF-field the second level variable is incremented with a SET-field containing a FORMULA-field with the calculation.

I must also upgrade to Aspose.Words for Java Version 13 to make this solution work.

I attached my solution as an example.

Best regards,
Tobias
