WordArt rotation on conversion to PDF

Aspose.Words Product Family

Hello,

After searching your forum, I see this may have been reported before (Ref:WORDSNET-9740), however I can’t find any more information on the matter.

I am trying to export a simple Word (.DOCX) document to PDF, however Aspose.Docs, is losing the rotational formatting applied to the text.

Please see attached document and sample code.

Hi Adam,

Thanks for your inquiry. Regarding WORDSNET-11327, our development team has completed the work on your issue and has come to a conclusion that this issue and the undesired behaviour you’re observing is actually not a bug. So, we will close this issue as ‘Not a Bug’.

You should use PdfSaveOptions.DmlRenderingMode=DmlRenderingMode.DrawingML. By default Aspose.Words renders images in DmlRenderingMode.Fallback mode (VML shapes). I hope, this helps.

PdfSaveOptions options = new PdfSaveOptions();
options.DmlRenderingMode = DmlRenderingMode.DrawingML;
doc.Save(MyDir + @"out-14.12.0.pdf", options);

Best regards,
