Problem in Rendering a PowerPoint SmartArt when Converting PPTX to PDF

Hi,

We have a requirement to convert Powerpoint document into PDF. So I am evaluating the trial version and found an issue with a powerpoint SmartArt. The text does not render properly and not allowing a viewer to read the text. Please find attached the Presenation as well as the converted pdf image. Please look into this and suggest the ways to resolve this issue.

Hi Mudassir,

Good to know that you are planning to work on this issue. We are planning for a release of our product in 1-2 months, so a solution to this problem would help us to determine if we can use Aspose in our product for PPT to PDF conversion. Therefore, it would be great, if you can let's know the time by which we can expect a solution to this problem.

We have also identified a few other issues related to some charts used for conversion. Please find attched the same.

Thanks,

Manoj

Hi Manoj,


I have discussed the issues status with our development team and we have scheduled the issues for initial investigation during Week 10/2013. We will share the feedback related to these issues after the investigation will be carried by our development team.

However, the issue SLIDESNET-30876 related to 3-D rendering of the chart elements is blocked as it is a missing feature. It will be resolved by end of July 2013.
