[Word to PDF] Issues with textbox shape glow

Hi

There seems to be an issue when converting from .docx to pdf when a shape (a simple textbox in this case) has a glow effect.

There is no visible effect shown in word, neither when exporting to pdf from word. But when exporting to pdf with Aspose.Words for .NET 18.5 the result differs. I have attached a word document and a generated pdf that should illustrate this clearly.

Is this as intended?

Any help is greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance

Hello again :slight_smile:

Thank you for the help, the fix seems to work for the given sample, but it seems there are still issues when the glow has transparency. I’m attaching a new sample that shows this.
