Saving as PDF changes format/indentation of table

Aspose.Words Product Family
1

With the attached file, if I open in Word and do a Save As Pdf, all works fine. However, if I open with Aspose and save as a pdf, formatting in more than one place is messed up.


a) Page 6 - in the word document, you’ll see a little space after the header ‘Calculation of Cash Balance Account’, but pdf removes that.

b) Page 7 - The ‘Personal Information’ table in word is correctly centered in page/header, but in PDF, it is left aligned and no longer under the header.

Any advice to a fix or a workaround in our document to prevent issues like this would be appreciated.

I’m using Aspose 17.2.

var opt = new Aspose.Words.LoadOptions();
opt.LoadFormat = Aspose.Words.LoadFormat.Auto;
new Aspose.Words.License().SetLicense( @“C:\BTR\Source\Assemblies.Internal\3.5\Aspose.Words.lic” );

var doc = new Aspose.Words.Document( file );
doc.Save( file + “.pdf”, Aspose.Words.SaveFormat.Pdf );
