Text is Moved to Previous Line after DOCX to PDF conversion using .NET

Aspose.Words Product Family

Hi,

When converting a DOCX to PDF with Aspose, I noticed some text was moved to the previous line.

Code:

var doc = new Document(@".\test.docx");
doc.LayoutOptions.TextShaperFactory = HarfBuzzTextShaperFactory.Instance;
doc.Save(@".\test.pdf");

It seems to only happen when there’s a word ending with dash + space ("- ") at the beginning of a line, Aspose decided to move it to the end of the previous line when rendering PDF. If I replaced the dash ‘-’ with any other character of the same width, the issue didn’t happen (see my test2 example attached).

I’ve attached my test files and a screenshot for your reference. Could you please take a look?

@tahir.manzoor thanks for looking into this.

Please refer to my initial comment - test2DashReplaced does not have any issues, it is an example where after replacing the ‘-’ with any other characters, the issue no longer happened compared to the problematic test 1 ecxample.

Thanks,
