@Kofax_Business_Communications The problem occurs because Encoding is specified improperly. The file is in Unicode encoding, but in your code utf-8 encoding is specified. You can either sepcify encoding like the following:

 loadOptions.Encoding = System.Text.Encoding.Unicode;

Or simply leave it unspecified, in this case, Aspose.Words automatically detects encoding and loads your document properly.

@Kofax_Business_Communications As I can see there is no data loss in the converted PDF document. Formatting of the table is changed because it does not fit the page size. If you make page size bigger then the table will look exactly the same as in the browser. For example you can use the following code:

doc.FirstSection.PageSetup.Orientation = Orientation.Landscape;
doc.FirstSection.PageSetup.PaperSize = PaperSize.A3;
