I’m trying to convert a word doc to PDF using Aspose Java(latest version of word & pdf). I had came across some problems like,
* Font size changes
* Color Shades difference
* Label mismatch in part image
* Image size changes in flow chart kind of image
* Extra lines in graph image
* Letters merged in Image containing text
At sometime, the exact replica of word document was not arrived at.
I have attached my sample docs.Please go through it and try to clarify with a solution.
We tested the scenarios and have managed to reproduce the same problems on our end. For the sake of corrections, we have logged the following problems in our issue tracking system.
WORDSJAVA-2006: Colour shading Issue in PDF (related to 10N760L2HNR_10_egi10N760L2HNR.doc)
WORDSNET-18290: Image labels/captions render at incorrect places in PDF (related to 10CFJPDTVG70_10_egi10CFJPDTVG7.docx)
WORDSNET-18291: Flow chart image font issue in PDF (related to 10D1F79RFXC_10_egi10D1F79RFXC.doc)
We will further look into the details of these problems and will keep you updated on the statuses of these issues. We apologize for your inconvenience.
Regarding “10J7SPG224T_10_egi10J7SPG224T.docx” in “Original doc not replicated(Image lines & text)” folder, please also provide a comparison screenshot highlighting the problematic areas in Aspose.Words generated PDF file with respect to your input DOCX and attach it here for our reference.
Regarding WORDSNET-18291, “SimHei” and “DengXian” fonts are required to render this metafile. Unfortunately, it is not possible to render the metafile correctly without these fonts because glyph ids specific to the fonts are used in some places in the metafile. You can also see it in the MS Word output without these fonts either. With these fonts installed Aspose.Words is able to render metafile correctly. So, to fix this issue, please simply install the above two fonts. Hope, this helps.
Regarding WORDSNET-18291, we have completed the work on your issue and concluded to close this issue as ‘Not a Bug’. Please see my previous post for analysis details.
Regarding the other two issues, they are currently ‘pending for analysis’ and are in the queue. We will inform you via this thread as soon as these issues are resolved or any updates are available.
While dealing with different documents, there occur below kind of font issues.It occur even after installing “SimHei” and “DengXian” fonts.Can you please go through the below samples?
