hallo,

i have an urgent question to the support team. hope there's a simple solution for the following problem.

for a costumer project i have to fill database informations into a word document. i'm using a word template with lots of formfields placed in a relatively complex table.

table cells and rows are fixed, so that longer textstrings do not destroy the table format. the produced word file is perfect. but after conversion to pdf the table loses their defined format because cells increases automatically when text is greater than cell space.

this causes unwanted page breaks and complete destruction of the requested document structure. is this a bug or a feature? ;-)

pardon my english - hope you understand my problem description.

thanks for any help.

P.S. The costumers releases are not up to date, but i tried the latest updates of Aspose.word and Aspose.PDF. The problem still exists - so it makes no sense to upgrade.

Hi,

Here is the document in question ( please see the attachment file for more detail).

Thanks,

Hi Dana,

I found there are two reasons for this error:

1) Fixed row height is not supported well in Aspose.Pdf. In Aspose.Pdf, the row height will be enlarged when the content in the row exceeds fixed row height. In the XML,

        <Row FixedRowHeight="23.05" IsBroken="false">
          <Cell ColumnsSpan="3" VerticalAlignment="Center">
            <Text MarginTop="14" MarginBottom="14" IsSpaced="true" Alignment="Right" LineSpacing="1.8" ID="paraId_3">
              <Segment FontName="Arial" IsTrueTypeFontBold="true" FontSize="12">CSEA10022DH - 18</Segment>
            </Text>
          </Cell>
        </Row>
The margins setting for the text makes the row be larger than 23.05.

2) There is a blank between the header and the first table. I think this is a bug of Aspose.Pdf.

I have logged this issue and we will try to fix it soon. As a workaround you can set the text margins of "CSEA10022DH - 18" to 0 in your template.

Please try hotfix 3.5.5.0.

There is still problem with the page border (a floating box) that it is overlapping with the table. We can't resolve this problem in short time. As a workaround you can set the rectangle a little highter.
