I have ran into many issues converting word documents to pdf documents and losing a lot of the formating and content. I have attached an example below for an example.

Is there anything I can do to prevent this? PDF Printers seem to convert the documents fine, is this because they are using Office to render the document?

Do you have a list of known issues of converting word documents to pdf?

Thanks!

Hi

Thanks for your request. I see two problems in your document.

1. The first problem problem occurs because text wrapping is not supported during converting to PDF. Only Inline with Text, Above Text and Below Text are supported at the moment. All other wrapping will be supported later. As a workaround, you can try using inline shapes.

2. Footnotes and Endnotes are not supported during Rendering / Converting to PDF. I linked your request to the appropriate issue.

You will be notified when the problems are resolved.

Best regards.

The issues you have found earlier (filed as 6799) have been fixed in this update.

We are happy to tell you that a very cool and important feature (filed as 7180) is included in the new version of Aspose.Words. Text wrapping around images and shapes when rendering Microsoft Word documents to PDF, XPS and printing is now supported. You can download the latest version from here.
