Hyperlinks in DocToPDFConverter

Hi,

Im having an issue with converting hyperlinks from a Word docx to PDF.

It seems to be if the text begins with "http://" or "www.", it will be converted to a hyperlink in the PDF.  If you have chosen to create a hyperlink in Word with custom text (eg. "Google" with a hyperlink to "http://www.google.com"), this is not being converted to a hyperlink in the PDF.

Here are the examples and results:

SUCCESS: http://www.google.com (plain text)

SUCCESS: www.google.com (plain text)

FAIL: maps.google.com (plain text)

FAIL: google.com (plain text)

SUCCESShttp://www.google.com (hyperlinked)

SUCCESSwww.google.com (hyperlinked)

FAILGoogle (hyperlinked)

FAILGoogle (hyperlinked)

I have tested this with http://asp.syncfusion.com/demos/reporting/Pdf/Import%20and%20Export/DoctoPDF/cs/DoctoPDF.aspx and get the same results.

Code im using is below, word document has been attached.

                using (MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream(wordDocBytes))
                {
                    WordDocument wordDoc = null;
                    wordDoc = new WordDocument(stream, FormatType.Docx);

                    //Initialize chart to image converter for converting charts in word to pdf conversion
                    wordDoc.ChartToImageConverter = new ChartToImageConverter();
                    wordDoc.ChartToImageConverter.ScalingMode = Syncfusion.OfficeChart.ScalingMode.Normal;

                    DocToPDFConverter converter = new DocToPDFConverter();
                    //Convert word document into PDF document
                    PdfDocument pdfDoc = converter.ConvertToPDF(wordDoc);
                    using (MemoryStream outputStream = new MemoryStream())
                    {
                        pdfDoc.Save(outputStream);
                        pdfBytes = outputStream.ToArray();
                    }
                    pdfDoc.Close(true);
                    wordDoc.Close();
                }

Thanks

Anthony
