Hi Team,

When I am converting docx to pdf. In output pdf headers are overlapping. And, also table content are overlapping with boundaries of table. I have attached the input file, aspose-output and expected output in zip file also marked the errors in the screenshots.
files.zip (707.1 KB)

I have used below code :

String fileName = "C:\\Tasks\\Docs\\Circular preview.docx";
document.getLayoutOptions().setTextShaperFactory(HarfBuzzTextShaperFactory.getInstance());
document.save("C:\\Tasks\\output\\output.pdf");

Thanks,
Arvind

@rnara
WORDSNET-23426 has been analyzed. The issue occurs because header text wrapping around floaters is not supported by Aspose.Words layout. There is a wrapped shape in the header and the text is rendered below the shape instead of wrapping around it. The issue has been postponed till header text wrapping around floaters feature is supported.
The analysis of WORDSNET-23427 is not finished yet.

WORDSNET-23426 - The issue has been postponed till header text wrapping around floaters feature is supported. Currently we cannot provide you any estimate when this feature is supported.

WORDSNET-23427 - The fix of this issue has been already implemented and currently is in Code Review stage. If everything goes smoothly the fix will be included into the next version of Aspose.Words.

Is there any possible workaround for WORDSNET-23426 ?
Thanks,

@rnara You can try making shapes in header/footer inline as a workaround either programmatically or in MS Word:

Document doc = new Document("C:\\Temp\\in.docx");

for (Section s : doc.getSections()) {
    for (HeaderFooter hf: s.getHeadersFooters()) {
        Iterable<Shape> shapes = hf.getChildNodes(NodeType.SHAPE, true);
        for (Shape shape: shapes) {
            shape.setWrapType(WrapType.INLINE);
         }
    }
}

doc.save("C:\\Temp\\out.pdf");

But you should note this might cause rendering issues with other documents.

The issues you have found earlier (filed as WORDSNET-23427) have been fixed in this Aspose.Words for Java 22.3 update.
