HIGHLIGHTS are converted to color boxes while converting from WORD to PPT using aspose

Hi Team,
I have purchased Aspose Total & I am using it in my project.
Team, I am using Aspose Latest DLLs to convert from Word doc to PPT presentation. The route that you suggested me do this conversion was to First Convert Word to PDF then convert PDF to PPT as there is no direct way to convert from Word to PPT.

The final generated PPT is quite good but has some issues.
The high priority issue is the Text Highlighting problem.
Highlighted Text in word report is not aligned properly in the final PPT. Also, the Highlighted Text is not actually highlighted in the PPT. Th output is like Text which is in front of a colored box. This makes it very very difficult for the end users to edit the PPT.

The code I am using is:-

public string ConvertWordToPPT(string path)
{
string wordReportName = path.Substring(0, path.LastIndexOf("."));
string fnameppt = wordReportName + “.pptx”;
using (Stream stream = File.OpenRead(path))
{
Aspose.Words.Document wordDoc = new Aspose.Words.Document(stream);
wordDoc.UpdateFields();
//RemoveHyperlinks(wordDoc);
using (MemoryStream inStream = new MemoryStream())
{
wordDoc.Save(inStream, Aspose.Words.SaveFormat.Pdf);
using (MemoryStream pdfStream = new MemoryStream(inStream.ToArray()))
{
Aspose.Pdf.Document pdfDoc = new Aspose.Pdf.Document(pdfStream);
using (MemoryStream pptStream = new MemoryStream())
{
pdfDoc.Save(pptStream, Aspose.Pdf.SaveFormat.Pptx);
File.WriteAllBytes(fnameppt, pptStream.ToArray());
}
}
}

        }
        return fnameppt;

Could you please look into this matter. I am sending you the attachments.

I converted word doc to ppt using the above code but the output is not satisfactory. Please see the PPT in the zip folder; n u will see that the highlights are not actually the highlights but they are Rectangles with color filled in them, which make it extremely difficult to edit.

You are using an old version 17.9.0 of Aspose.Pdf for .NET API. Please download and try the latest version 18.1 of Aspose.Pdf for .NET API.

After downloading the latest Aspose.Pdf 18.1 ver, found that the Fix works only for English language but not for Japanese Language.
