Images in Content Controls are not rendered in PDF

Aspose.Words Product Family
1

Good morning,
I have a MS Word document that contains several Content Controls fields that at runtime are dynamically filled in with data retrieved from a dataview.
The Word doc is then converted to PDF through the use of Aspose.Words.
The problem is that in the rendered PDF the Content Controls fields of type images do not contain the images dynamically set by program.
Please note that opening the Word document (with Word) the images are there.
Do you have any idea why exporting to PDF the images are lost ?
Thank you
Luca

Dear Tahir,
Thank you for your response.
As you requested, I attached a zip containing:

  • document.docx: a document with some content controls
  • document.pdf: the document opened with aspose and saved as pdf
  • a console application that open the docx file and save it as pdf (the docx should be inside bin folder)

If you open the pdf file you can notice that there are two images, but only one of them is correclty rendered. the other one is empty. While opening the docx file with word (I’m currenlty use Word 2007) the image is rendered.
before the last attempt also the first image was empty, but i have only moved the image control.

I also noticed that if i open the docx file, edit something casually and save it, then converting the pdf with aspose, the images are all correclty rendered.

Thanks for investigating
Best regards
Luca

Hi Tahir,

thanks for your response.
I have an additional question: my client took a temporary licence for your product and they are evaluating it.
But, if this bug won’t be fixed in a short time they won’t be able to purchase your product even if they are strongly interested in.

May I kindly ask if it is possible to have the foreseen fix date please?
Or in alternative, do you know any workaround of that problem (i noticed that some images are correctly rendered).

Best Regards
Luca
