Hi,

I’m trying to convert html to pdf using aspose.word 19.10.
targeted html is a chart so i’m getting the inner html for this chart and create an aspose.words.Document from this html and use document builder to save it as a pdf.

Issue :
this chart contains an svg tag that contains an arabic text “عدد الحصص”, so when converting to pdf the text appears “ص ص ح ل ا د د ع”.
I tried to set “DocumentDirection.RIGHT_TO_LEFT” and “bidi” to true but it didn’t work.
This text inside a text tag within the svg tag.

Thanks.

Hi @awais.hafeez
I’m not generating a docx or word document, just passing the html input as an input stream and use the document builder to save it as a PDF.
