It seems that you are experiencing issues with table borders after migrating from Aspose version 21.12.0 to 25.4.0. Specifically, the borders for merged cells are not being rendered correctly in the newer version.

To address this issue, you can try the following steps:

  1. Check Table Formatting: Ensure that the table formatting is correctly set in your code. You can apply borders explicitly to the table and its cells using the SetBorders method. For example:

    Table table = (Table)doc.GetChild(NodeType.Table, 0, true);
table.ClearBorders(); // Clear existing borders
table.SetBorders(LineStyle.Single, 1.5, Color.Black); // Set borders for the entire table

  2. Cell Formatting: If you have specific cells that need different border settings, you can set the borders for those cells individually:

    Cell cell = table.Rows[0].Cells[0];
cell.CellFormat.Borders.LineStyle = LineStyle.Single;
cell.CellFormat.Borders.Color = Color.Black;

  3. Merged Cells: For merged cells, ensure that you are correctly setting the HorizontalMerge and VerticalMerge properties. For example:

    Cell cell1 = table.Rows[0].Cells[0];
Cell cell2 = table.Rows[0].Cells[1];
cell1.CellFormat.HorizontalMerge = CellMerge.First; // First cell in the merge
cell2.CellFormat.HorizontalMerge = CellMerge.Previous; // Merged with the previous cell

  4. Testing with Different Versions: If the issue persists, consider testing with a different version of Aspose to see if the problem is specific to version 25.4.0. Sometimes, changes in the library can affect how certain features are rendered.

  5. Review Documentation: It may also be helpful to review the Aspose documentation regarding table formatting and borders to ensure that you are using the latest methods and properties correctly.

If you continue to face issues, please provide a minimal reproducible example of your code, and I can assist you further.
