Retain SmartArt Text Box Rotation (Direction) during Converting Word DOCX Document to PDF using C# .NET

[lancomdevteam]

Hi there,

We have an issue when saving a .docx document (contains SmartArt) to .pdf.

The SmartArts in DOCX are in the right direction. However once it’s saved as PDF, some text inside the SmartArt is in the wrong direction.

We have tested with the following version, working incorrectly:

• 20.4
• 20.1
• 19.12.0
• 19.11.0

Working correctly:

• 19.10.0
• 19.7.0
• 19.1.0
• 18.8

We notice there is a change in 19.11.0:
ORDSNET-19168 SmartArt to PNG conversion issue with text rendering

Not sure if this is related.

The code we use:

var document = new Document(Stream, Option)
document.SavePdf()
