PDF Output Mismatch with MS Word Text Distribution

Aspose.Words Product Family
1

We have encountered an issue with the PDF output generated by Aspose.Words (.NET). The text distribution in the generated PDF does not match what is displayed in Microsoft Word. Specifically, the spacing and justification appear differently, which leads to visible inconsistencies in the final document.

Word Version: 2021
FileFormat: Docx (No compatibility Mode)
Aspose: Latest Version (Trial)
Aspose.Word OptimizedFor (2019)

This is critical for our business, as we require the generated PDF to match Microsoft Word’s rendering exactly—especially in terms of text distribution and layout.

I have attached a sample document along with the generated PDF to illustrate the issue.

Could you please advise if there is any workaround, configuration, or setting that would allow Aspose to replicate Word’s text distribution behavior more accurately? If this is a known limitation, we would also appreciate any guidance on possible alternatives or best practices. We have tried various compatibility options and settings, but unfortunately, none have resolved the issue.
