Problem converting DOCX document containing Html Table to PDF

Aspose.Words Product Family

Hello,

I am having trouble when I try to convert a DOCX file to PDF when it contains a Html Table in an inline text container.

In the output PDF-document the Html Table is displayed with the Html code instead of the table rendered as Html as it is in the origin DOCX file.

When making a small modification in the original DOCX file (by adding an x-character in the file) the output PDF is rendered as expected.

See the program code following the post for a way to reproduce the issue. See the attached files for output results from the program.

I am using Aspose.Words v15.1.0.0.

thanks, Henrik

namespace AsposeWordsConverter
{
    using System.Diagnostics;
    using System.IO;
    using Aspose.Words;
    using Aspose.Words.Saving;
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            if (args.Length
            {
                Trace.WriteLine("Invalid number of arguments: Expecting AsposeWordsConverter.exe ");
                return;
            }
            string l_sourceFile = args[0];
            if (!File.Exists(l_sourceFile))
            {
                Trace.WriteLine("Specified source file does not exist: " + l_sourceFile);
                return;
            }
            string l_targetFile = l_sourceFile + ".pdf";
            Aspose.Words.Document l_document = new Document(l_sourceFile);
            l_document.UpdateFields();
            using (var l_resultStream = new FileStream(l_targetFile, FileMode.CreateNew))
            {
                l_document.Save(l_resultStream, new PdfSaveOptions { Compliance = PdfCompliance.PdfA1b });
            }
        }
    }
}

Hi Johnny,

Thanks for being patient. It is to update you that our product team has completed the analysis of this issue (WORDSNET-11571) and the root cause has been identified. Please use the following code to fix this issue:

Document doc = new Document(MyDir + @"HtmlTableDocError.docx");
PdfSaveOptions saveOptions = new PdfSaveOptions();
saveOptions.DmlRenderingMode = DmlRenderingMode.DrawingML;
