Hi to everybody at the support team.

The attached Worddocument ‘Vorlage.doc’ produces stranges symbols when converted to pdf.

For example, look for the words “ver-ändert”, “Frei-flächen” or “Bahnhofsum-feld” .

Platform:
Windows 7 64-Bit
Dotnet 2.0
Aspose.Words 9.5.0.0

Attached files:
Vorlage.doc : Worddocument which causes problem
Vorlage.pdf : PDF converted via Aspose, shows strange symbols
WordConverter.zip: Example project to reproduce the problem

Thanks for help, Martin

Hello

Thank you for reporting this problem to us. I managed to reproduce it on my side. Your request has been linked to the appropriate issues. You will be notified as soon as it is resolved.

As a temporary workaround, you can try removing optional hyphens from the document before converting it to PDF. Please see the following code example:

// Open document.
Document doc = new Document("yourDoc.doc");
// Remove optionalHypens from the document.
doc.Range.Replace(ControlChar.OptionalHyphenChar.ToString(), "", false, false);
// Save document to PDF.
doc.Save("out.pdf");

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
