You can look at the problem

thanks

@jmbeas,

Your Word document has 365KB size and when you convert (Save As) it to PDF (see msw-2016.pdf (225.1 KB)), the PDF size becomes 226KB. However, if you see layout/rendering issues in Aspose.Words generated PDF (as compared to MS Word generated PDF files), please do let us know. So, the output PDF size may vary, but, Aspose.Words will render to PDF with high fidelity - exactly like Microsoft Word® would have done it.

I see layout/rendering issues in Aspose.Words generated PDF (as compared to MS Word generated PDF files)

@jmbeas,

Thanks for your inquiry. Please ZIP and upload your input Word document and Aspose.Words generated output PDF file showing the undesired behavior here for testing. Please also create a comparison screenshot highlighting (encircle) the problematic areas in output PDF and attach it here for our reference. We will investigate the issue(s) on our end and provide you more information.

I have attached a sample document that is shown and the pdf generated by Aspose.Words. Attached also images that shows what proboca the lower size.
But I recommend printing both documents because it is inferior throughout the frame not only at one point but in general.document.zip (510.6 KB)

@jmbeas,

Regarding WORDSNET-17100, we have completed the analysis of your issue and come to a conclusion that this issue is actually not a bug. So, we will close this issue as ‘Not a Bug’.

Aspose.Words works as designed. The difference with MS Word PDF export happens because Aspose.Words intentionally does not reproduce “partial” MS Word TOC field update. MS Word PDF output does not match the document layout in MS Word or MS Word print output.

There is a TOC field on page 3 which is not up-to date. Apparently, headers 4-7 were deleted from the document, but TOC was not updated after that. When saving to PDF, Aspose.Words does not update the TOC field by default, so the field result stays as MS Word displays it. MS Word tries to update page numbers inside the field, but as the paragraphs they are referencing were deleted, MS Word inserts “Error! bookmark not defined” instead of page numbers for them. This error text wraps to the next line for item 5 in TOC, so the subsequent text is shifted down, pushing an empty paragraph to the top of the next page, and that is what you have reported here.

Aspose.Words will not reproduce updating TOC page numbers only on exporting to PDF. The result would not match document layout in MS Word and print layout if printed from MS Word.

If the field is updated inside MS Word, items for paragraphs 4-7 are deleted from TOC. Aspose.Words will reproduce this behavior if UpdateFields in PdfSaveOptions is set to true.

The error still exists, I have updated TOC to see that it was not a problem with that.

I have attached two 2 tests.
The one that leaves correctly (TestOK) has one less line in the explanation of the label.
The one that goes wrong has the lines that we have in our document.
