Thanks for your request. I cannot reproduce the problem on my side using the latest version of Aspose.Words (7.0.0). You can try using SaveToPdf method to convert your doc document to PDF. Here is the code:
Document doc = new Document("in.doc");
doc.SaveToPdf("out.pdf");
thank you for the replies. I got it working now, I’m not 100% sure what happened, basically what I did was to recreate my .doc files, I thought since I was using Office 2003 it was not compatible.
Got it working with .doc and .docx now.
I can’t do a direct convert but successfully converted the documents using the “Legacy Method” so for now I’ll stick with that method since there is a possibility the client would like to manipulate the content before converting.
The plain text loading method is very useful thank you for that, I thought they are all treated equally as documents but apparently there is a different technique for plain text docs.
Thanks for your inquiry. The problem might occur because Aspose.Words cannot read some of your fonts properly. Are there any additional fonts installed on your PC? If so, please attach these fonts here, if not, could you please archive all your fonts and share the archive somewhere. I will check all your fonts on my side and provide you more information.
Thank you for additional information. I managed to reproduce the problem on my side. Your request has been linked to the appropriate issue. You will be notified as soon as it is resolved.
The problem occurs because Aspose.Words cannot read ARCHITIC.TTF font properly. As a workaround please try deleting this font from your PC.
