paragraph.clone() bug on "text effects"

[danielhalte1]

Hello
I'm testing Spire.Doc V8.1.10 and have to clone a document piece A.docx (see attachment) into another one.
The A.docx has a unique paragraph, which has a unique lettre (A) formatted with some "text effects" (calibri font, 72 pt, 1pt black border, no color fill).
Cloning this paragraph and saving it in docx format keeps effect but don't keep font (calibri 72 pt --> Time new roman 72 pt).
Cloning this paragraph and saving it in pdf format keeps font and size, but don't keep effect (black color fill).

My test code :

Code: Select all

    internal void Run()
    {
      string inputFileName = Path.Combine(Application.StartupPath, "A.docx");
      string outputDOCXFileName = Path.Combine(Application.StartupPath, $"A {DateTime.Now:yyyy-MM-dd HH-mm-ss}.docx");
      string outputPDFFileName = Path.Combine(Application.StartupPath, $"A {DateTime.Now:yyyy-MM-dd HH-mm-ss}.pdf");
      using (Document inputDoc = new Document(inputFileName))
      {
        Paragraph paragraph = inputDoc.Sections[0].Paragraphs[0];
        using (Document outputDoc = new Document())
        {
          Section section = outputDoc.AddSection();
          section.Paragraphs.Add(paragraph.Clone() as Paragraph);
          outputDoc.SaveToFile(outputDOCXFileName, FileFormat.Docx);
          Process.Start(outputDOCXFileName);
          outputDoc.SaveToFile(outputPDFFileName, FileFormat.PDF);
          Process.Start(outputPDFFileName);
          outputDoc.Close();
        }
        inputDoc.Close();
      }
    }

Hello,

Greetings from E-iceblue.
After further investigation, since the source document uses the font in the default styles, please add CloneDefaultStyleTo() to copy the default style of source document to the target document firstly to keep the same font in saved .docx file. The below is full testing code.

Code: Select all

Document inputDoc = new Document(@"A.docx");
{
    Paragraph paragraph = inputDoc.Sections[0].Paragraphs[0];
    using (Document outputDoc = new Document())
    {
       
        Section section = outputDoc.AddSection();
        inputDoc.CloneDefaultStyleTo(outputDoc);
        section.Paragraphs.Add(paragraph.Clone() as Paragraph);
        outputDoc.SaveToFile(@"result.docx", Spire.Doc.FileFormat.Docx);
        outputDoc.Close();
    }
    inputDoc.Close();
}


And the font effect issue of generated PDF has not been resolved yet, our Dev team is still working on it. We will keep you informed regarding any available updates. Thanks for your patience.
