Convert Word to XML

Aspose.Words Product Family

I have a Word template file that I have tried to save as PDF. A number of headings that have a white font have disappeared. Also, in the header section, the text has been right-aligned instead of left. What is wrong?
The code I used is:

oDoc = New Aspose.Words.Document("c:\temp\PT Plan Layout.dot")
Dim stream As System.IO.MemoryStream = New System.IO.MemoryStream()
oDoc.Save(stream, Aspose.Words.SaveFormat.AsposePdf)
' Seek to the beginning so it can be read by XmlDocument.
stream.Seek(0, System.IO.SeekOrigin.Begin)
' Load the document into an XmlDocument
Dim xmlDoc As XmlDocument = New XmlDocument()
xmlDoc.Load(stream)
' Save the XML
xmlDoc.Save("c:\temp\PullThrough.xml")
' Load the XML document into Aspose.Pdf
Dim pdf As Aspose.Pdf.Pdf = New Aspose.Pdf.Pdf()
' Make sure the images that were saved by Aspose.Words into Windows temporary
' folder are automatically deleted by Aspose.Pdf when they are no longer needed.
pdf.IsImagesInXmlDeleteNeeded = True
pdf.BindXML(xmlDoc, Nothing)
' Now produce the PDF file.
pdf.Save("c:\temp\Pullthrough.pdf")

I have attached the Word template file, the XML generated from it, and the resulting PDF.
We are using Aspose.PDF 3.2.2.0 and Aspose.Words 4.0.3.0
I posted this in the Aspose.PDF forum. Thye used ASpose.Words v4.1.1.0 and that resolved the font color problem. However the alignment problem remains in the XML file.

Hi,
Thank you for reporting the issue to us. I have logged it as #1477 in our defect database. We will try to get it fixed as soon as possible. As a workaround, you can use a table without borders to align the text and the picture in the header instead of paragraph alignment and custom tab stops.

Hello!
It’s better to avoid formatting with tabs and spaces at all. There is an example how you can control document layout using tables with invisible borders.
Targeting this approach take into consideration the following:

  1. The table has hollow borders. They are not rendered or printed.
  2. Every element in complex design should be placed in own cell.

Please let us know if it is helpful for you.
Regards,
