HTML conversion to TIFF: issue with table width

Hello,

we are in a situation where a table-width is low-dimensioned (5.12%), but the following Rows/Cells specify a fixed padding in Points (i.e. 7,5pt).
The resulting table should therefore be enlarged enough to contain the widest row, that is what happen in browsers and Ms Word.
What we found is that, by changing the Table-width from percentage to Points (i.e. from 5.25% to 5pt ) the conversion output looks fine.
It seems that the percentage is not processed as it should, whereas if the Points is used, the rendering-width is extended (enlarged) properly.

Attached files to reproduce:

TestDocument_ko.html (containing table width: 5.12% )
TestDocument_ko.pdf (badly renderedTestDocument_KO.pdf (107.3 KB)
TestDocument_ok.pdf (99.5 KB)
Issue_Table_Width.zip (199.7 KB)
)

TestDocument_ok.html (containing table width: 5pt )
TestDocument_ok.pdf (rendered Ok)

Tested with version 18.9.

Many thanks in advance for your support.

Hello Tahir.

Is there any news about this very long lasting issue?

Thank you.

@renato.mauro

We regret to share with you that your issue (WORDSNET-17548) had been postponed due to missing feature WORDSNET-832 ( Make table layout as close to Word as possible ) which is related to your issue.

After the fix of WORDSNET-832, we will look into this issue. We will be sure to inform you via this forum thread as soon as this feature is available. We apologize for your inconvenience.

The issues you have found earlier (filed as WORDSNET-17548) have been fixed in this Aspose.Words for .NET 23.8 update also available on NuGet.

Hello,
thanks for the info, but we are using the Java version of Aspose.Words, that it’s still at 23.7 version, therefore this fix isn’t included. When will this fix be ported to the Java version as well?
Many thanks,

BR
Gianfranco

@gianfranco.dancelli, Aspose.Words for Java is usually released in ~2 week after the .NET version.
