Issue: Problems when converting Word to PDF

Version used: Aspose.Words for .Net 8.0.0.0

Description:

When converting Word to PDF, the following problems occur:

  1. If some special characters (such as ’Ⅰ’, ‘℃’) are set in ‘Times New Roman’ or ‘Arial’ font., these characters will be unreadable after converting to PDF

  2. If a paragraph is set to ‘Auto-align to left and right borders’ in the source Word documents, the format will be changed after converting to PDF

  3. If a picture is set to ‘Fixed on top of text’, the format will be changed after converting to PDF.

Please see the attached for details: 3.doc is the source Word document, and the 3 AsposeWords.pdf is the converted one.

Hello Sherman,

Thank you for additional information.

  1. “Arial” and “Times New Roman” fonts do not actually contain such characters. MS Word uses “SimSun” font to display these characters. You can just change font to “SimSun”, this will resolve the issue.

  2. I managed to reproduce the problem on my side. You will be notified as soon as it is fixed.

  3. This problem occurs because Aspose.Words does not support floating object positioning during rendering. Your request has been linked to the appropriate issue. You will be notified as soon as it is supported.

Best regards,

  1. We have thousands of such Word files and we definitely cannot change these fonts setting to SimSun manually. Also we don’t know other characters have same issues. Yesterday, we tried other conversion tools (such as ABCPDF, ActivePDF and DynamicPDF), and none of them has such issue.

2 & 3: waiting for your reply.

Thanks,

Sherman
