Export to PDF of text form fields having a default text

Hi,

We are converting Word docs to PDF using Aspose.Words for .Net version 18.9.0 and Aspose.PDF version 18.9.1 and the following code:

        var doc = new Document(input);
        doc.UpdateFields();
        doc.UpdatePageLayout();
        doc.AcceptAllRevisions();

        var saveFormat = new PdfSaveOptions
        {
            OptimizeOutput = true,
            ImageCompression = PdfImageCompression.Jpeg,
            PreserveFormFields = true,
            UpdateFields = true,
            SaveFormat = SaveFormat.Pdf
        };
        
        doc.Save(output, saveFormat);

Both input and output are of type Stream.

We are seeing an issue with text form fields having a default text. In the generated PDF there is a FORMTEXT showing inside the fillable text field.
The files for this scenario are:

  1. INPUT file input-text-fields-w-defaults.zip (12.6 KB)
  2. OUTPUT file input-text-fields-w-defaults.docx.pdf (32.1 KB)

Is this an issue that you are aware of?
Any workarounds are welcome as well.

Thank you!
