Consider this minimal code that inserts an SVG image:

var doc = new Document();
var builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
builder.InsertImage(@"image.svg");
doc.Save("test.doc");

That SVG image has a diagonal stripes pattern:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd">
<svg width="12cm" preserveAspectRatio="xMinYMax" font-size="8" font-family="Consolas, &quot;Courier New&quot;, Courier, monospace" shape-rendering="auto" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xmlns:xml="http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace" version="1.1">
  <g transform="translate(10, 10)">
    <defs>
      <pattern width="10" height="10" patternUnits="userSpaceOnUse" id="diagonal_stripe">
        <image x="0" y="0" width="10" height="10" xlink:href="data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0naHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmcnIHdpZHRoPScxMCcgaGVpZ2h0PScxMCc+CiAgPHJlY3Qgd2lkdGg9JzEwJyBoZWlnaHQ9JzEwJyBmaWxsPSd3aGl0ZScvPgogIDxwYXRoIGQ9J00tMSwxIGwyLC0yCiAgICAgICAgICAgTTAsMTAgbDEwLC0xMAogICAgICAgICAgIE05LDExIGwyLC0yJyBzdHJva2U9J2JsYWNrJyBzdHJva2Utd2lkdGg9JzInLz4KPC9zdmc+" />
      </pattern>
    </defs>
  </g>
  <g transform="translate(0, 40)">
    <text>foo</text>
    <g>
      <g>
        <rect width="40" height="10" color="black" transform="translate(210, -7.5)" style="fill:url(#diagonal_stripe);" />
      </g>
      <g />
    </g>
  </g>
</svg>

The SVG looks like this:

The problem is when Aspose.Words saves the document as either doc or pdf, the striped pattern is not visible:
