Images Are Cropped during PPTX to PDF/A-2a Conversion Using Aspose.Slides for Java

Hi,

We are evaluating Aspose for converting different document formats to PDF/A-2a.

When converting a particular PPTX file to PDF/A-2a in Java on Ubuntu 18.04, the background images of the first, second and fifth slides look cropped. I have attached the input and output files. pptx-to-pdf-a-2a.zip (7.6 MB)

Sample code:

PdfOptions options = new PdfOptions();
options.setCompliance(PdfCompliance.PdfA2a);
options.setSaveMetafilesAsPng(true);
options.setJpegQuality((byte) 90);
options.setTextCompression(PdfTextCompression.Flate);
 
Presentation presentation = new Presentation("input.pptx");
presentation.save("output.pdf", SaveFormat.Pdf, options);

Could you please take a look?

Thank you!
