Problems with Aspose save to PDF

We have found an issue regarding some pdfs get errors in the page layout after we stamped them for release.

Upon investigation we have narrowed it down to that when Aspose creates a PDF based on the document it is adding an extra page break after the header line in a table.
Or to be more precise, Aspose is adding an extra page break before the first line where a “Heading 3” has been used to add a numbering to the table.

But since that is the first line with data in that table it is just writing the header line on the first page. the second page gets the Header line and the rest of the lines from the table.

The setting which is enforcing this behaviour is the font paragraph setting “Keep with next”.

If you deselect that setting the table will appear on the previous page in Word and Aspose will treat it as normal.
But with that setting on the table is placed on a new Page in Word! But Aspose puts an extra empty page (Just containing the header line) before the actual table.

It is only Aspose that is adding the extra page.

We are currently using Aspose 21.2.0

The error has also been verified on Aspose version 21.4.0

Has anyone come across this issue before?
