Landscape pages are rendered as portrait pages when converting DOCX to PDF

Hi,

When converting a DOCX with some portrait and landscape pages to PDF using Aspose.Words, the pages in the PDF all became portrait.

Code:

        var doc = new Document(@".\test.docx");
        doc.Save(@".\out.pdf");

I’ve attached the test files and a screenshot for your reference. Could you please help to check?

Cause

The issue you’re experiencing, where landscape pages in a DOCX document are rendered as portrait pages in the resulting PDF, is often due to the page setup settings not being correctly applied during the conversion process.

Solution

To ensure that both portrait and landscape pages are preserved during the conversion from DOCX to PDF, you can explicitly set the page setup for each section in your document. This includes specifying the orientation for each section before saving the document.

Code

Here’s a code snippet that demonstrates how to set the page orientation for each section:

var doc = new Document(@".\test.docx");

// Loop through each section in the document
foreach (Section section in doc.Sections)
{
    // Check if the section is set to landscape
    if (section.PageSetup.Orientation == Orientation.LANDSCAPE)
    {
        // Ensure the section is correctly set to landscape
        section.PageSetup.Orientation = Orientation.LANDSCAPE;
    }
    else
    {
        // Ensure the section is set to portrait
        section.PageSetup.Orientation = Orientation.PORTRAIT;
    }
}

// Save the document as PDF
doc.Save(@".\out.pdf");

Next Steps

  1. Ensure that your DOCX document has the correct page setup for each section.
  2. Use the provided code to loop through the sections and explicitly set the orientation.
  3. Test the conversion again to confirm that the landscape pages are now rendered correctly in the PDF.
