Header is not rendered properly for some pages in document. (ECDCTS-8821)

Hi Team,

In output file header is not rendered properly from page no 30 to page 33.
From pages 1 to 30 are in A4 size and header appears correctly. From page 30, we see header is seen to be shifted left.

I tried the below code to transform the file.

String fileName = "C:\\Input\\WI-000436655 (2).docx";
com.aspose.words.Document document = new com.aspose.words.Document(fileName);
document.save("C:\\output\\WI-000436655 (2).pdf");

I have attached the aspose output file as well office output file in zip.files.zip (6.9 MB)

Thanks,
Arvind

@rnara The issue occurs because incorrect column widths stored in the document are not re-calculated by Aspose.Words.
The problematic table in the header has incorrect column widths stored in tblGrid element. The logic required to re-calculate the table layout is being implemented per WORDSNET-832. Currently the new logic is not applied to auto-fit tables with inline DML shapes inside as inline DML metrics are not considered reliable.
The issue has been postponed until the problematic table is supported by the new logic. Unfortunately, currently there are no estimates when work on new table grid calculation mechanism is finished.

Hi Team,

Could you please explain the below query
“The issue occurs because incorrect column widths stored in the document are not re-calculated by Aspose.Words”

Also, if there is any workaround available for this issue.

Thanks,

@rnara It means that MS Word stores incorrect column widths for the problematic table. Aspose.Words uses these values without recalculation, that causes incorrect table rendering.
Unfortunately, there is no workaround for this issue.

@rnara Unfortunately, there is still no news regarding this issue. As I mentioned the issue is blocked by table grid calculation algorithm implementation. We are continuously work on this algorithm implementation and few table rendering improvements has been included into the latest releases of Aspose.Words. But since MS Word behavior is not documented the implementation of the algorithm requires a lot of investigation affords and time. So unfortunately, it is impossible to provide a fast point fix for this issue. Please accept our apologies for your inconvenience.
