Hi Team,

We are trying to transformation input file with below code.

String fileName = "C:\\Input\\HTML.html";
com.aspose.words.Document document = new com.aspose.words.Document(fileName);
document.save("C:\\output\\html.pdf");

In output pdf file texts are not aligned properly.

Thanks,

@rnara Unfortunately, the ticket has “Postponed” status at the moment. The issue analysis has shown that it will be necessary to implement new functionality and carry out extensive testing work on the existing documents to exclude regression.
As a temporary solution, we suggest you to set LeftMargin value manually, while the problem is being fixed.

...
doc.getFirstSection().getPageSetup().setLeftMargin(100);
document.save("C:\\output\\html.pdf");

@rnara You can also consider converting Html -> Docx -> Pdf as a workaround.

Document document = new Document(fileName);
// Save and load from temporary Docx.
doc.save("html_tmp.docx");
doc = new Document("html_tmp.docx");
doc.save("output.pdf");

@rnara There is Row containing two images with AltText at the top of the page. Both images are not available via link, that is why AltText is displayed. However, the way AltText is shown in Web browser and in MS Word is different. Since the images’ sizes are set in Html, AltText is not visible behind them. You can open the original “HTML.html” in MS Word and make sure it displays exactly like Aspose.Words does.

@rnara Analysis of this issue has been completed. The issue occurs because table column widths are not calculated correctly in absence of width generated by MS Word for an auto-fit table in html document. The issue is to be addressed by the new table grid algorithm we are currently working on. Currently the new logic is not applied to html input as there were issues with some of the test documents. The issue has been postponed until grid re-calculation for html input is supported.

@rnara Unfortunately, the issue is still not scheduled for development and there is no estimate. It is blocked by the main issue WORDSNET-832 related to table grid calculation. You should note that table grid calculation is an extremally complex task and we continuously work on it. As a temporary solution you can use the approach suggested by Vadim:

Document document = new Document(fileName);
// Save and load from temporary Docx.
doc.save("html_tmp.docx");
doc = new Document("html_tmp.docx");
doc.save("output.pdf");

@rnara Unfortunately, there are still no news regarding this issue. The issue is postponed till the development of the main issue WORDSNET-832 is finished. We are continuously work on improving Aspose.Words table layout algorithm, but since MS Word behavior is not documented and not always obvious, it is impossible to give promises regarding this issue. Please accept our apologies for your inconvenience.
