HTML to PDF: checkboxes are overlayed by text

Hello!

I have another issue (adding to HTML with checkbox to PDF), when I convert HTML with checkboxes to PDF. In this case the the checkbox is overlayed by the text.
I also converted the HTML with MS Word 2016 to PDF, which produces a better looking pdf: htmlWithCheckboxes.zip (184.7 KB)

Is there a way to get a similar looking result using Aspose.Words?

Kind regards

@dvtdaten Could you please attach your source HTML document. I have checked with your original HTML from other thread and see cell width where checkbox is inserted is less then required. Please try suing the following code to fix this:

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

// Replace form field with the corresponding Wingdings characters.
for (Field f : doc.getRange().getFields())
{
    if (f.getType() == FieldType.FIELD_FORM_CHECK_BOX)
    {
        FormField ff = (FormField)f.getEnd().getPreviousSibling();
        Run checkBox = new Run(doc, ff.getChecked() ? "\u00FE" : "\u00A8");
        checkBox.getFont().setName("Wingdings");
        f.getEnd().getParentNode().insertAfter(checkBox, f.getEnd());
        f.remove();
    }
}

// Fix table width issues.
for (Table t : doc.getFirstSection().getBody().getTables())
{
    t.setAllowAutoFit(true);
    t.autoFit(AutoFitBehavior.AUTO_FIT_TO_CONTENTS);
}

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

Alternatively, specify cell width explicitly in your HTML. out.pdf (41.1 KB)

Ah yes, the HTML document from the other thread has similar problems.
Thank you, @alexey.noskov, the problem is solved with your hints.

Kind regards
