Problem with Printing RTF File containing German Umlaut

Aspose.Words Product Family
1

Hello,
I am using the following code to print the attached rtf file with the “Microsoft print to PDF” printer. The German Umlaut will be replaced with “?”

RtfLoadOptions l = new RtfLoadOptions
{
    Encoding = Encoding.UTF8,
    RecognizeUtf8Text = true
};
Document doc = new Document("C:\\Temp\\128330-10010 UStVA-44-2021.rtf", l);

doc.Print("Microsoft Print to PDF");

I am using Aspose.Words V23.1
What can I do to get the correct output?

Hello alexey,
I noticed my attached rtf file when opend in notepad shows this
{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg65001\deff0{\fonttbl
65001 => UTF-8
the missing ‘ü’ is the character hex code in UTF-8 “FC”

when I change this line within the rtf file with
{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg**1252**\deff0{\fonttbl

and do

Document doc = new Document("M:\\128330-10010 UStVA-44-2021_fix.rtf");
doc.Print("Microsoft Print to PDF");

the characters are displayed correctly within the pdf.
the ‘ü’ hex code in codepage 1252 is “FC” as well.

It seems that Aspose is not using the correct Encoding.
