Thank you for fast reply.

I have been experimenting a bit and it seems like setting doc.UseNewEngine = true solves the issue.
Unfortunately this leads to another issue - if header or footer of the page contains page number it is rendered same on all pages in generated pdf document.

Docx file to test it is enclosed. Program to reproduce the issue:

Code: Select all
static void Main(string[] args)
{
            Spire.Doc.Document doc = new Spire.Doc.Document(@"C:\temp\paging.docx");

            doc.UseNewEngine = true;
            doc.SaveToFile(@"C:\temp\paging.pdf", Spire.Doc.FileFormat.PDF);
}


If you open generated PDF file you will see Page 1 at the end of each page

Thank you for quick response. Does that mean the above citation is no longer true?
