Hi,

When converting a .docx file to a .pdf file using Aspose.Words, I noticed a formatting issue when my EMF table is converted see screenshot attached.

528×807 58.7 KB

Code:

var saveOptions = new PdfSaveOptions();
saveOptions.UseHighQualityRendering = true;
saveOptions.CustomPropertiesExport = Aspose.Words.Saving.PdfCustomPropertiesExport.Metadata;
saveOptions.OutlineOptions.HeadingsOutlineLevels = 9;
saveOptions.OutlineOptions.DefaultBookmarksOutlineLevel = 0;
saveOptions.ExportDocumentStructure = true;
saveOptions.FontEmbeddingMode =  PdfFontEmbeddingMode.EmbedAll;
saveOptions.OptimizeOutput = false;
saveOptions.Compliance = Aspose.Words.Saving.PdfCompliance.Pdf17;

Document convertedDocument = DocumentHelper.OpenReadOnly(@"input.docx");
convertedDocument.FieldOptions.FieldUpdateCultureSource =FieldUpdateCultureSource.FieldCode;
convertedDocument.UpdateFields();
convertedDocument.Save(@"output.pdf", saveOptions);

The output has a formatting error shown in the screenshot attached. Note this issues persists of docx to html also.

I am using Aspose.Words 25.1.0

@ServerSide527 To get the output closer to MS Word it is required to enable open type features. Aspose.Words.Shaping.Harfbuzz package provides support for OpenType features in Aspose.Words using the HarfBuzz text shaping engine. You should enabling open type features to get the expected result. To achieve this you should add reference to Aspose.Words Shaping Harfbuzz plugin and use the following code to convert your document:

Document doc = new Document(@"C:\Temp\in.docx");
doc.LayoutOptions.TextShaperFactory = Aspose.Words.Shaping.HarfBuzz.HarfBuzzTextShaperFactory.Instance;
doc.Save(@"C:\Temp\out_HarfBuzz.pdf");
