Structure element issues after conversion to pdf

Hello,
I have an accessibility issue where some of the document structure is missing when saving a docx as a pdf.

The resulting pdf was analyzed using PAC3 (one of the most comprehensible accessibility testers for pdfs) and showed the following errors Pac3Result.jpg (81.1 KB):

  • "Figure" element on a single page with no bounding box (the image of an onion).
  • Table header cell has no associated subcells (x4, one for each table header).
  • A detailed description of what it is can be found here (Figure) and here (Table header), summarized it means the following:

  • Images converted from with Aspose doesn't get a bounding box ("/BBox []" attribute) specifying the size of the image.
  • The table header cells probably lacks individual references to the associated subcells, or they aren't marked as "columns".
  • Technical info

    The shared PDF file is generated by old version of Aspose.Wrods. Please use Aspose.Words for .NET 20.7 to check this scenario. Please let us know if you still face the same issue.

    Yes, 20.7 gives the same issue: WordToPDFA-1a.zip (93.6 KB)
