We need latest Aspose dlls to test the text overlapping issue which we are facing in templates printing.
We have old licenses, will this problem get resolved by latest Aspose dlls?

To ensure a timely and accurate response, please attach the following resources here for testing:
As soon as you get these pieces of information ready, we will start investigation into your issue and provide you more information. Thanks for your cooperation.
PS: To attach these resources, please zip and upload them.
Please find the attached console application to replicate the issue, attached the generated PDF with our issues as comments.
when you run the console application it will use the word document placed under “Template” folder and converts to PDF and places the file under “GeneratedDocument” folder.
Unfortunately, we have not found any document in your post. Please ZIP and attach the requested resources here for testing.
Can you please check and confirm if you can see now.
If the upload is not visible, please let us know your email address, we will send through email.
We have not found any attachment in this thread. You can also share your documents via private message. Please ZIP and attach the documents and code example.
hi Tahir,
for some reason, we are not able to upload the file, can your email address be shared to us in a private message, we share the file via Azure link.
Or, you can share any of your Shared drive locations with us, we will try placing the link.
Sashi
Please download your Word document at your end, ZIP and attach it here for testing. You can share .cs file for code example. Thanks for your cooperation.
We are unable to see the uploaded from our side, please check the below code and if document is having footnotes then text is overlapping.

Unfortunately, it is difficult to say what the problem is without document. Please check the attached image for document upload in ZIP file format. upload.png (6.8 KB)
You can also ZIP and attach your Visual Studio project for testing. Thanks for your cooperation.
we are unable to uploade total solution may be because of aspose dll’s size issue, Uploading the code after removing the aspose dll’s in bin folder PrintingTest.zip (2.7 MB)
Below are Aspose DLL’s version details we are using
Aspose.Pdf.dll – Product Version 2012.07.01 -->AsposePDF.PNG (18.6 KB)
Aspose.Word.dll -->Product Version 2013.04.30 -->AsposeWords.PNG (17.1 KB)
Please check with this code and help us on this issue.
