        {
            if (field.Type == Aspose.Words.Fields.FieldType.FieldDate
                || field.Type == Aspose.Words.Fields.FieldType.FieldTime

@pradeepdone,

Thanks for your inquiry. Please use Run.Font.Hidden property to remove hidden text font formatting. You can use following code example to get the desired output. Hope this helps you.

Document doc = new  Document(MyDir + "in.docx");
foreach (Paragraph par in doc.GetChildNodes(NodeType.Paragraph, true))
{
    par.ParagraphBreakFont.Hidden = false;
    foreach (Run run in par.GetChildNodes(NodeType.Run, true))
    {
        if (run.Font.Hidden)
            run.Font.Hidden = false;
    }
}

doc.Save(MyDir + "Out.pdf");

Whenever i am adding track changes to the document and hiding the text then this code is not working.

I mean to say if i hide any data in the word doc and convert to pdf then i am able to unhide the data with the above code but when i turn on the track changes and then hide some text and convert it to pdf then the content is not unhiding . Please help me on this .
