Documents converted from Word to PDF are not properly extractable by an ifilter

We are using an ifilter to get out information from pdf documents. This is done so you can have a search engine that can include document content.

We are using the adobe ifilter (ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobat/win/9.x/PDFiFilter64installer.zip).

When extracting text from a word document converted to PDF using another provider, we get the words with spaces as expected. “This is a text line this is a new text line” (correct). When trying to use this tool with a document converted with Aspose.Words the linebreak does not properly add a spacebar. “This is a text linethis is a new text line” (incorrect).

Is there some kind of configuration to change and fix this? Or is it a bug?

Just wanted to add the simple code we actually use to convert from Word to PDF:

var doc = new Aspose.Words.Document(fileToConvert);
var options = new Aspose.Words.Saving.PdfSaveOptions
{
    SaveFormat = Aspose.Words.SaveFormat.Pdf,
    Compliance = Aspose.Words.Saving.PdfCompliance.PdfA1b,
    ExportDocumentStructure = true
};
doc.Save(destination, options);
