Converted docx file does not look same as the pdf

[victoria07indpro]

Hello support team,

We are trying to create docx file from pdf
We have used following code

Code: Select all

PdfDocument doc = new PdfDocument();
doc.LoadFromFile(pdfFilePath);
doc.SaveToFile(docxFilePath, FileFormat.DOCX);


Problem is, in the resultant docx file, fonts are different, even some text overlaps,
some gray backgound is also added.

I have attached simple pdf and converted docx file in the attachment

Please guide us in a correct way, so we can get the docx file exactly like pdf.

Hello,

Did you try to convert in PS mode to see if you get better results?

Code: Select all

//Create a PdfDocument object
            PdfDocument doc = new PdfDocument();

            //Load a sample PDF document
            doc.LoadFromFile(@"C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\sample.pdf");

            //Use PS mode for converting PDF to Word, and set the recognition mode to flow
            doc.ConvertOptions.SetPdfToDocOptions(true, true);

            //Convert PDF to Docx and save it to a specified path
            doc.SaveToFile("ToDocx.docx", FileFormat.DOCX);

Hi,

Thank you for your inquiry.
After converting your PDF to Word, I noticed that some font names have suffix in Word, such as Arialregular-uxryk and TimesNewRomanBold-VNQHO. I posted this behavior to our dev team for further investigation, the problem ticket is SPIREPDF-5334. Once there is any update, I will inform you. Apologize for the inconvenience.
In addition, I didn't reproduce the overlapped text and gray background in Word. Here I attached my generated Word for your reference. If you were not using our latest Spire.PDF(Spire.PDF Pack(Hot Fix) Version:8.7.2), I would suggest you give the latest one a try. If these two problems still exist, please provide your test environment(win 10,64 bit) and application type( Console App, .NET Framework 4.6) for further investigation. Thanks in advance.

Sincerely,
Kylie

Thanks for the reply sbgmedia and Kylie

@sbgmedia : I tried using PS mode, but there was no difference

@Kylie : as you suggested I did upgrade version to 8.7.2
No difference there.

I am attaching the screenshot of the docx file which i converted from a PDF.
NOTE: was not able to attach actual document due to the size restrictions
Here u can see gray background. And i am very much sure that i removed anything that had gray color.
Overlapping text is not consistent, Sometime i see that and some times no.

No able to understand.

Here are the details for your ref

Test environment : Linux
Application type : web App, .NET Core

Hi Victoria,

Sorry currently there is no progress about the issues SPIREPDF-5334. Our dev team need time to parse your document and locate the cause of the issues. Please spare us more time, once there is any good news, I will inform you. Thanks for your understanding.
