Mergefield- white font turns grey when convert to PDF

Aspose.Words Product Family

Hi,
Im using Aspose.Words v. 16.8.0.0 to convert .docx to PDF.

I have inserted a mergefield and set the font color to white.
In Microsoft Word, when using the “see print” or even convertering to PDF (using Microsoft word), the font color remains white.

However, when using Aspose.Words and convertering the document using the following code:

Dim ms As New MemoryStream(wordFil)
Dim wordDoc As New Aspose.Words.Document(ms)

Dim options As New PdfSaveOptions()
options.FontEmbeddingMode = PdfFontEmbeddingMode.EmbedAll

Dim resultStream As New MemoryStream()
wordDoc.Save(resultStream, options)

The “white mergefield” turns out to be grey?

I have attached both the .docx and the converted .pdf (grey mergefield)

Why is there a difference between Aspose.Words and Microsoft Word
Is there a way to fix this?
