Issue converting RTF to PDF using Save method of Aspose.Words.Document in Aspose.Words dll version 21.6.0

Aspose.Words Product Family

I am getting issue in formatting of the content in the PDF file while converting RTF to PDF using Save method of Aspose.Words.Document in Aspose.Words dll version 21.6.0

Whereas this was working fine in the earlier version of Aspose.Words.dll

I have noticed that the space characters in between the contents are not aligned uniformly and causing the formatting issue

Any help on this is appreciated.

Thanks

@yogeshg We have completed analyzing the issue and concluded this is not a bug. Your document has the Balance DBCS characters and DBCS characters option enabled. Word can lay out document with such option differently depending on the installed language:

  1. If only English is installed, enabling and disabling this option does nothing
  2. If Chinese or Japanese language is installed, this option controls the width of space characters making them narrower

In MS Word you observe the behavior for the 1st case. Aspose.Words, however, always respects the Balance DBCS characters and DBCS characters option as MS Word in the 2nd case.

To get the desired rendering output, you can disable the Balance DBCS characters and DBCS characters option:

Document d = new Document(@"in.rtf");
d.CompatibilityOptions.BalanceSingleByteDoubleByteWidth = false;
d.Save("in.pdf");

Hi Alexey

Thanks a lot for your help and support on this issue.
The document is rendered in correct format now as it was with the previous version of the dll.
