Watermarks in PDF-output are not centered as the PDF-output of Word

Hi,

When converting a document with watermarks with Aspose.Words to PDF the output differs from what can be seen in MS Word.
When converting the document with MS Word (Save as PDF) the differences are very obvious.

The watermark does not get positioned by Aspose.Words as it is done by MS Word.

I suppose this has to do with the way the center is calculated. MS Word seems to use a bounding box approach for the text that is in the watermark and centers the watermark via that.

In Aspose.Words on the other hand it seems that the shape itself is centered without taking the included text into account.

I have attached some files for the sake of reproduction.

Kind regards
