Post updating the version, I’m facing a PDF rendering regression where certain bold text appears visually distorted than before the upgrade.
Before Update:
After Update:
I am attaching: the original .docx template, PDF/Docx from 22.6.0, and PDF/Docx from 25.6.0 for comparison.
Output_Aspose25_6.zip (6.1 MB)
Output_Aspose22_6.zip (6.2 MB)
LatoTest_original.docx (6.0 MB)
Was there a change between 22.6 and 25.x which could have affected the rendering?
Is there any property to restore the behaviour without modifying the source documents?
