Saving word as PDF give wrong text alignment

Saving a docx as pdf give me bad formatting. The docs is created from a template, using mailmerge.
This happens both saving directry as pdf the merged doc, and saving before to docx (showing correct) and then reloading and saving as pdf.

Used aspose.words for .net v 22.2.0.

Attached the docx and output files (OK saved with word, KO saved with Aspose.NET).

Code is very simple:

        Document doc = new Document("output.docx");
        doc.Save("output3.pdf");

Thanks and best regards,

@andrea.zanotto Could you please send us the input docx before MailMerge so that the fix could exactly meet your expectations?

Here it is! And that’s the code I’ve used:

        string MyDir = @"./";
        
        Document document = new Document(Path.Combine(MyDir, "template.docx"));
        string[] values = {
            "000001",
            "MARIETTO CRESPI",
            "PSU Ufficio Personale e documenti persi - Mario Negri - Dortomindo",
            "20020 POPITTO LI",
            "000001"
        };
        string[] fields = new string[] { "NREC", "LINE1", "LINE2", "LINE3", "LINE4" };

        document.MailMerge.Execute(fields, values);

        document.Save(Path.Combine(MyDir,"output.docx"));

        document.Save(Path.Combine(MyDir, "output.pdf"));

        Document doc = new Document(MyDir + "output.docx");
        doc.Save(Path.Combine(MyDir, "output2.pdf"));

@andrea.zanotto Unfortunately, after discussion, it has been decided to postpone the issue resolution at this point. Please consider the following code as a workaround.

Document doc = new Document("output.docx");
doc.FirstSection.Body.Tables[0].AutoFit(AutoFitBehavior.AutoFitToWindow);
doc.Save("output3.pdf");
