Problem converting document with TextBox to pdf

Aspose.Words Product Family

I’m experiencing a problem with the conversion to pdf. The document I’m trying to convert contains a TextBox where the “Text Wrapping” option is set to “Top and Bottom”. There is also some text just below this TextBox. I’ve attached a sample document to illustrate.

The code that I’m using is:

Document document = new Document("D:\AsposePdfTest\TestBrief.doc");
document.Save("D:\AsposePdfTest\TestBrief.pdf", SaveFormat.Pdf);

In the resulting pdf, both the TextBox and normal Text are on top of each other.

Hello!
Thank you for your inquiry.
Text wrapping around floating objects is not currently supported in conversion to PDF. This issue was registered as #7180. We plan to support this by the end of 2009 and will notify you when it’s ready.
As a workaround you can avoid using text wrapping or even switch to inline objects. If you show us real document we would try to advise how to keep the layout visually identical.

Hello,

Thank you for your reply. I’ve changed it to an inline object (which wasn’t a problem with this template) and that solved it. Is wrapping the only property that’s currently unsupported or do I need to look out for other properties as well?

Hello!
Unfortunately, there are more unsupported features. Our developers are intensively working on them every day so it’s difficult to draw a full picture of what is supported. All the major features are already implemented. Rendering engine has been in release state about half a year. But we still need to improve it up to ideal. You can try converting test documents and ask me what’s wrong here and there. Your feedback is very important and much appreciated.

Hello
We are happy to tell you that a very cool and important feature (filed as 7180) is included in the new version of Aspose.Words. Text wrapping around images and shapes when rendering Microsoft Word documents to PDF, XPS and printing is now supported. You can download the latest version from here.
