Cross-references turn into links after Doc to PDF conversion

Aspose.Words Product Family

Hi,
When convert .doc or .docx files to pdf all cross-references turn into links in result pdf even if they are not a hyperlinks in original document.
I attached an example document Cross-reference example.docx where I created two types of cross-references - one is inserted as hyperlink, another one as plain text. They will have a markdown { REF test_bookmark \h } and { REF test_bookmark } correspondingly.
When I save this document as pdf from MS Word, hyperlink cross-reference will turn into link in result pdf and non-hyperlink cross-reference will turn into plain text (see attached example Cross-reference example MS Word.pdf, if you hover second cross-reference it will be displayed as link).
But when I save the same document as pdf with Aspose.Words library, than both cross-references will turn into link in result pdf (see file Cross-reference example Aspose.pdf).
I have also attached a small example of code that is used to convert doc to pdf.
Could you please say which settings could be set during pdf conversion that will allow to save non-hyperlink cross-references as plain text.

Best regards,
Irina Tiapchenko
