HTML To Pdf not rendering properly

Dear Aspose,


Please find attached my html file and pdf file. I am using below Aspose code to convert my html into pdf.
var htmlMemoryStream = new MemoryStream();
            using (var streamWriter = new StreamWriter(htmlMemoryStream))
{
streamWriter.Write(outlookCalendarItemHtml);
htmlMemoryStream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);
htmlMemoryStream.Flush();
            <span style="color:green;">//create an instance of LoadOptions and set the LoadFormat to Mhtml</span>
            <span style="color:blue;">var</span> loadOptions = <span style="color:blue;">new</span> <span style="color:#2b91af;">LoadOptions</span> { LoadFormat = <span style="color:#2b91af;">LoadFormat</span>.Mhtml };

            <span style="color:green;">//create an instance of Document and load the MTHML from MemoryStream</span>
            <span style="color:blue;">var</span> document = <span style="color:blue;">new</span> <span style="color:#2b91af;">Document</span>(htmlMemoryStream, loadOptions);
            <span style="color:blue;">foreach</span> (Aspose.Words.<span style="color:#2b91af;">Section</span> section <span style="color:blue;">in</span> document.Sections)
                section.PageSetup.PaperSize = <span style="color:#2b91af;">PaperSize</span>.A4;

            <span style="color:green;">//create an instance of HtmlSaveOptions and set the SaveFormat to Html</span>
            <span style="color:blue;">var</span> saveOptions = <span style="color:blue;">new</span> <span style="color:#2b91af;">PdfSaveOptions</span>();

            <span style="color:blue;">var</span> targetLocationMemoryStream = <span style="color:blue;">new</span> <span style="color:#2b91af;">MemoryStream</span>();
            document.Save(targetLocationMemoryStream, saveOptions);
            targetLocationMemoryStream.Flush();

            <span style="color:green;">//save the document to Html file</span>
            _impersonatedFile.SaveFileToDestination(converterSettings.OutputFileLocation, targetLocationMemoryStream.ToArray());
            targetLocationMemoryStream.Close();

Hi N.Murali,

Thanks for your inquiry. Please note that Aspose.Words requires TrueType fonts when
rendering documents to fixed-page formats (JPEG, PDF or XPS). Make sure
you have all the Fonts installed on your machine you’re using to convert
Word document to Pdf format e.g Helvetica font. I would suggest you please read the
following articles:
http://www.aspose.com/docs/display/wordsnet/How+Aspose.Words+Uses+True+Type+Fonts
http://www.aspose.com/docs/display/wordsnet/How+to++Specify+True+Type+Fonts+Location

I have tested the scenario and have noticed that the first column of table has font Helvetica (10.5). The font size is changed in output document. For the sake of correction, I have logged this problem in our issue tracking system as WORDSNET-12004. I have linked this forum thread to the same issue and you will be notified via this forum thread once this issue is resolved.

We apologize for your inconvenience.

Hi N.Murali,

Thanks for your inquiry. The WORDSNET-12004 (Font size of text is changed after conversion from Html to Docx/Pdf) is actually not a bug in
Aspose.Words. So, we have closed this issue as ‘Not a
Bug’. I am quoting product team comments here for your reference.

According to the HTML 5 Standard, the font size of the first column should be 12pt (the default font size), because the HTML document is opened in Quirks mode and there is a quirk related to font size of tables (please see a note about Quirks mode in http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/rendering.html#tables). All modern browsers also render the text of the first column in 12pt but MS Word apparently doesn’t conform to HTML 5 and ignores the quirk.

There is a way to instruct Aspose.Words and modern browsers to ignore that quirk and use inherited font size (10.5pt) for tables. The customer should add the following declaration to the beginning of the HTML document (before the tag):

<!doctype html>

Regarding the word wrap problem, it seems to be related not to the font size but to the lack of support for column width declared using elements. In the input html document, the following declarations are used to set widths of table columns:
