{ 
                Aspose.Pdf.Text.TextFragment textFragment = textFragmentCollection[j];
                if (textFragment.Text == "<table>")
                {
                    textFragment.Page.Paragraphs.Add(tableContent);
                    textFragment.Text = "";
                }
                // Update text and other properties
                if (textFragment.Text == "<paragraph>")
                {
                    textFragment.Page.Paragraphs.Add(ParagraphContent);
                    textFragment.Text = "";
                }

We have investigated the issue and found no bugs. It is found that the source code from the ‘Description’ section wrong and ineffective.

Also, please use HtmlFragment margins to set Y-position of added HTML-text fragment.

Document pdfDocument = new Document(dataDir + "Input (1).pdf");

HtmlFragment tableContent = new HtmlFragment("Sample");//Hi");
//content in PDF
TextFragmentAbsorber textFragmentAbsorber = new TextFragmentAbsorber(" Plan must be cloned from the Master copy and should be named UAT BPT – RC 2 – Material –");

pdfDocument.Pages.Accept(textFragmentAbsorber);
TextFragmentCollection textFragmentCollection = textFragmentAbsorber.TextFragments;

for (int j = 1; j <= textFragmentCollection.Count; j++)
{
    TextFragment textFragment = textFragmentCollection[j];
    Page page = textFragment.Page;
    Rectangle fragmentRect = (Rectangle)textFragment.Rectangle.Clone();

    //Remove source text
    textFragment.Text = "";

    //Specify margins to set HtmlFragment position
    MarginInfo info = new MarginInfo(
        fragmentRect.LLX - page.Rect.LLX - page.PageInfo.Margin.Left,
        fragmentRect.LLY - page.Rect.LLY - page.PageInfo.Margin.Top,
        page.Rect.URX - fragmentRect.URX - page.PageInfo.Margin.Right,
        page.Rect.URY - fragmentRect.URY - page.PageInfo.Margin.Bottom);
    tableContent.Margin = info;

    //Add html-text
    page.Paragraphs.Add(tableContent);
}

pdfDocument.Save(dataDir + "43356_replace_sample.pdf");
