SVG exported incorrectly in output DOCX and PDF using .NET

Aspose.Words Product Family

Hi

We have some troubles with the correct layout of svg images in word or pdf. Also there are different behaviors saving either as docx or pdf.

Problems:

  • Text alignement ignoring text-anchor: end / middle (occurs when only transform="…" without x=“0” y=“0” is set)
  • Arc drawing: incorrect output in pdf
  • Font-Styles: incorrect output in word (when fonts are not installed locally)
  • font-weight seems to ignore numerical values as 400,700 (workaround use normal/bold)

Windows Universal, Aspose.Words v18.10.0

Could you please give us some hints for possible solutions/workarounds.
Thanks in advance.

Annotation:
WORDSNET-17629 The problem of my provided example is not the position of the vertical lines, rather than the Text alignment, if no coordinates are given:

If the coordinates x=“0” y=“0” attributes in the svg text tag are missing (only the transform attribute is provided, assuming implicitly x/y = 0) the text alignment is not applied correctly.

svg Code, not aligned centered in pdf/word output:

<text class="light medium" transform="matrix(1,0,0,1,120,50)">Medium</text>
<style type="text/css">
   .medium {font-size:22px;text-anchor:middle;}
   .light {font-family:'Lato Light';font-weight:'normal';}
</style>

svg code, works fine (added x=“0” y=“0”):

<text class="light medium" x="0" y="0" transform="matrix(1,0,0,1,120,50)">Medium</text>
<style type="text/css">
   .medium {font-size:22px;text-anchor:middle;}
   .light {font-family:'Lato Light';font-weight:'normal';}
</style>
