Hello,
I am currently evaluating SpireOffice for .NET.
My first test is to save to PDF a collection of test documents containing WordArt, tables with fill patterns, pages with borders from some older versions of Office (97, 2013, etc.), as well as SmartArt and Charts from Word 2016.
In the resulting PDF files, a lot of the WordArt kept the words but the effects and fills were wrong in the resulting PDF, and some of the Word art was completely wrong. Some table fill patterns were missing and the page borders never appear in the final PDF. The SmartArt from Word 2016 also never appeared at all, I just had empty blank pages with the eval watermark for that file.
To see if it was the PDF saving or the Word interpretation, I also tested printing my documents using Spire.Doc; the print results were similar to what I was seeing when I opened these documents in the PDF Viewer demo. The demo viewer had slightly better results but a lot of it was still incorrect.
Does SpireOffice support Word Art/Smart Art??
I can send you the test documents if you need.
Thanks,
Sheri
