Dear,

merged cells seem to get lost on conversion. Initial document is a 2013-style docx. Input docx and output pdf are included in attachment to this post. Is there a workaround for this issue?

Hi,

Thanks for your inquiry. After an initial test with Aspose.Words for Java 14.6.0, I was unable to reproduce this issue on my side (please see attached out.pdf). Please share your piece of code that helps us reproduce this issue on our end.

Best regards,

Dear,

this is the code I use

Document doc = new Document(docxFile);
doc.getCompatibilityOptions().optimizeFor(MsWordVersion.WORD_2010);
doc.updateTableLayout();
PdfSaveOptions opts = new PdfSaveOptions();
opts.setJpegQuality(90);
doc.save(outputFilePath, opts);

The updateTableLayout is probably what is causing this. It is required because otherwise the width of the table is completely wrong… (not the ‘preferred’ 100% width)
