Hi Masoud,

Thanks for your inquiry. Please note that Aspose.Words
requires TrueType fonts when rendering documents to fixed-page formats
(JPEG, PDF or XPS). Make sure you have all the Fonts installed on your
machine you’re using to convert Docx to Pdf format. I would suggest you please read the
following article:
https://docs.aspose.com/words/net/using-truetype-fonts/

I would suggest you please upgrade to the latest version (v15.8.0) from here and let us know how it goes on your side. If the problem still remains, please attach the fonts used in your document e.g B Yekan, WeblogmaYekan, B Nazanin, Adobe Arabic etc. I will investigate the issue on my side and provide you more information.

Hi Freydoon,

Thanks for sharing the workaround. Yes, following code example can be used to workaround this issue.

Document doc = new Document(MyDir + "EMF.docx");
// Get all shapes in the document.
NodeCollection shapes = doc.GetChildNodes(NodeType.Shape, true);
// Loop through all shapes.
foreach (Shape shape in shapes)
{
    // If shape contains a vector image, convert it to raster image.
    if (shape.HasImage && (shape.ImageData.ImageType == ImageType.Wmf || shape.ImageData.ImageType == ImageType.Emf))
    {
        using (MemoryStream vectorImageStream = new MemoryStream(shape.ImageData.ImageBytes))
        using (Image image = Image.FromStream(vectorImageStream))
        using (MemoryStream resterImageStream = new MemoryStream())
        {
            image.Save(resterImageStream, ImageFormat.Png);
            shape.ImageData.SetImage(resterImageStream);
        }
    }
}
doc.Save(MyDir + "output.pdf");
