Hello!
We are using Aspose.PDF 23.9.0 in our project which runs in Linux containers. Most documents we convert looks just fine, but some documents we convert has broken text. Numbers shows correct, but text is broken. I’ve tried using the latest package Aspose.PDF.Drawing 24.5.0 without any improvements to this problem. I have also installed the Windows fonts to the Linux environment.
When running this solution locally on a Windows computer, I have no issues. But when I run the solution on WSL with Ubuntu, I’m able to reproduce the text error. The text looks broken.
The converted document with broken text looks like this:
image.png (2.5 KB)
But is supposed to look like this:
image.png (4.7 KB)
The PDF files font data is as following:
