Hi

I am converting word document to pdf. I am using the below code to load word document and then to save that into pdf file. However, the word file table header width is not the same in pdf file.

I see that on the latest version its mentioned - “DOCX to PDF conversion issue with text wrapping around the table” fixed. However I still see problem. Can you suggest any workaround for this problem?

var doc = new Document(“test.docx”);
doc.Save(“test1.pdf”);

@kamaleswaran,

Regarding WORDSNET-18040, the issue occurs because table grid is not calculated correctly in presence of unsupported cell wrapping options. Some of the cells in the problematic table have “don’t wrap text” option set. The new grid calculation algorithm being implemented per WORDSNET-832 does not support the option yet. The calculation falls back to the old algorithm which apparently produces an incorrect result

So, your issue (WORDSNET-18040) actually depends on the resolution of an internal extremely complex issue (WORDSNET-832). Therefore, WORDSNET-18040 is postponed until at least WORDSNET-832 is resolved (or until the required cell wrapping options are supported by the grid calculation). We will review your issue after the resolution of WORDSNET-832. Unfortunately, there is no ETA available at the moment.

You may remove the problematic options for the table cells as a workaround.

We apologize for your inconvenience.
