Conflict grouped "shape" objects and DMLRenderingMode

Aspose.Words Product Family

Hello,



When converting a docx to pdf with grouped shapes and a rotated textbox,
the result is distorted.

While the rotation of textboxes has been fixed in WORDSNET-11898 (seen on
Rotated text box is not rotated when saved to PDF). The rendering of the groupobjects doesn’t seem to be correctly anymore.
However, when using DmlRenderingMode.FALLBACK, the grouped objects are rendered correctly, but without the correct rotating textboxes.

Would you be kind to look at this issue?

Code :

//correct rendering shapes, no correct rotating
Document doc = new Document(“grouped_rotated.docx”);
PdfSaveOptions saveOptions = new PdfSaveOptions();
saveOptions.setDmlRenderingMode(DmlRenderingMode.FALLBACK);
doc.save(“DIR_TO_grouped_result_fallback.pdf”, saveOptions);


//no correct rendering shapes, correct rotating
Document doc = new Document(“grouped_rotated.docx”);
PdfSaveOptions saveOptions = new PdfSaveOptions();
doc.save(“DIR_TO_grouped_result_nofallback.pdf”, saveOptions);


Source file: grouped_rotated.docx
Distorted file with correct rotation : grouped_result_nofallback.pdf
fallback file with incorrect rotatition : grouped_result_fallback.pdf

Using :
aspose.words version 16.1.0
JDK1.7

Thank you for your time

Hi there

Thanks for your patience. It is to inform you that our product team has completed the work on this issue (WORDSNET-13158) and has come to a conclusion that this issue and the undesired behavior you're observing is actually not a bug in Aspose.Words. So, we have closed this issue as 'Not a Bug'. We are quoting developer's comments here for your reference.

If you unzip «grouped_rotated.docx» document and copy "w:pict" elemen from "mc:Fallback" to "w:r" and then remove "mc:AlternateContent" from this run. Then please try to zip it again, you will see that fallback implementation of this shape looks different then original Dml. So when you set DmlRenderingMode.Fallback you will get the same incorrect result. But with DmlRenderingMode.DrawingML the output looks exactly as original shape.

Please check the attached modified document and compare document.xml from "13158 from AW fallback.docx" and "grouped_rotated.docx" to check DmlRenderingMode.DrawingML (default mode) behavior.
