Conversion RTF to PDF inconsistent table width

Aspose.Words Product Family
1

I’ve encountered a strange problem, and need to understand why it’s happening and how to overcome it.

I will attach the original RTF and screen-shots of the document in MS Word and the resulting PDF after conversion via Aspose.Words.

I would like to understand why the PDF is rendered with such narrow table cells vs. the page width cells that show in MS Word???

Thank you !
