Saving a loaded RTF document destroys the font formatting for form fields

Aspose.Words Product Family

The following procedure results in the error:

  1. Loading an RTF document with form fields.
  2. Saving the document as RTF.
  3. Reloading the document.
  4. Saving it as a PDF document with the “PreserveFormFields” option enabled.
var saveOptions = new PdfSaveOptions { PreserveFormFields = true };

Document document = new("form.rtf");
document.Save("success.pdf", saveOptions);

document.Save("form_copy.rtf");
document = new Document("form_copy.rtf");
document.Save("fail.pdf", saveOptions);

fail.pdf (16.4 KB)
success.pdf (16.4 KB)

The error results in the text losing its correct font and size. As a consequence, the text no longer fits within the form field in the PDF document, leading to incomplete display.
