INCLUDEPICTURE does not Render the Image in output DOC and PDF using .NET

Aspose.Words Product Family
1

We have the following piece of wordml code which was properly parsed in Aspose.Words 15.11, but unexpectedly parsed in Aspose.Words 20.2 (and higher, up to the very latest version):

        <w:pict>
          <v:shape id="d27" style="visibility:visible;mso-width-relative:margin;mso-height-relative:margin;mso-width-percent:1000;height:150px;" type="#_x0000_t75">
            <v:imagedata src="Input\HeaderImage.png"/>
          </v:shape>
        </w:pict>

On generating pdf/doc/docx by latest Aspose.Words a header image is not displayed.

Excerpt of wordml output generated by both Aspose.Words versions, pay attention on “width” value:

Aspose.Words 20.2:
<v:shape id="_x0000_i2049" type="#_x0000_t75" style=“width:0;height:112.5pt;visibility:visible”>

Aspose.Words 15.11:
<v:shape id="_x0000_i2049" type="#_x0000_t75" style=“height:112.5pt;visibility:visible;width:468pt”>

Input samples attached. Probably you’ll need to correct image path here:
<v:imagedata src="**Input**HeaderImage.png"/>

15.11.* – expected
20.2.* - unexpected

Please note, .pdf in this sample is not working fully as expected, because it require fill path for source image (I specified relative one for the demo).

@Vitaly_Filatenko

The behavior of old version of Aspose.Words is incorrect.

Please note that Aspose.Words mimics the behavior of MS Word. If you convert your document to DOC file format using MS Word, you will get the same output. Please open your XML in MS Word to check the image’s width.

Thanks. Sounds reasonable. As I just investigated, Word has some difficulties to work together with percent and absolute sizes. It works fine when I specifying only width in percent or height and width in px.
