Its really weird thing we observed while converting Pdf document to Html, as simple plain text getting divided in different different span by each character.

Please look into this and reply ASAP,

Thanks

The plain text is: Printed Name

But it is divided in multiple spans instead of single span.

We were able to reproduce the issue of multiple spans around every character while testing with 22.2 version of the API. However, the text in output HTML looked fine while rendering in the browser. We used below code snippet:

var original_book = new Aspose.Pdf.Document(dataDir + @"2022-02-25T09-47-36_AM_Hoaic_App_HO3-6.pdf");
HtmlSaveOptions htmlOptions = new HtmlSaveOptions();

htmlOptions.FixedLayout = true;
htmlOptions.PartsEmbeddingMode = Aspose.Pdf.HtmlSaveOptions.PartsEmbeddingModes.EmbedAllIntoHtml;
htmlOptions.RasterImagesSavingMode = Aspose.Pdf.HtmlSaveOptions.RasterImagesSavingModes.AsEmbeddedPartsOfPngPageBackground;
htmlOptions.RemoveEmptyAreasOnTopAndBottom = true;
htmlOptions.SplitIntoPages = false;
htmlOptions.SplitCssIntoPages = false;
string cssprefix = "aspose_pdf";
htmlOptions.CssClassNamesPrefix = cssprefix;

original_book.Save(dataDir + "outputHTML.html", htmlOptions);

We have logged multiple spans issue as PDFNET-51425 in our issue tracking system. We will further look into its details and keep you posted with the status of its rectification. Please be patient and spare us some time.

We are sorry for the inconvenience.
