Textbox in footer causes trouble

Aspose.Words Product Family

Hello,

i found out that Aspose has some trouble while converting .docx documents to pdf.

How to reproduce:

To make it as easy as possible download the following .docx:

Lorem Ipsum.docx (28.5 KB)

This document contains a footer with a floating textbox which is ignored when calculating spacing.

Word itself renders it correctly.
I tried multiple online converters, some render it correctly others have the same issue as Aspose.

Here are the Word and Aspose output for comparison:

Lorem Ipsum_aspose_online.pdf (21.4 KB)
Lorem Ipsum_word.pdf (80.7 KB)

@EbuD99 Thank you for reporting the problem to us. For a sake of correction it has been logged as WORDSNET-24217. We will keep you informed and let you know once it is resolved.
The problem occurs because because header text wrapping around floaters is not implemented in Aspose.Words layout. We plan to start work on this issue in October, but currently it is hard to predict how long the work might take.

Hey @alexey.noskov,
First of all thanks for the response.
Are there any updates regarding this issue?

@EbuD99 The issue is postponed until the main WORDSNET-9957 issue is resolved. The main issue is currently under development, but, unfortunately, no estimates are available at the moment. We will be sure to let you know once the problem is resolved.
