Converting docx to Pdf in a docker container

[Ootam Seewoogoolam]

Hi guys,

I am trying to convert a docx file to pdf in a docker container. The font height is messed up in the generated pdf.

Below is the original docx file 

Once generated via docker container, the pdf font height spacing is incorrect

I have attached a sample solution to demonstrate the issue. once you have downloaded the zip folder, execute the build.cmd to publish the console app and then execute the run.cmd to run the app. you will get the generated pdf in the publishOutput folder

Please treat this as urgent. Waiting for your reply.
Thanks

Ootam

Hi Ootam, 

From the given details and the code snippet, we have found that you used SubstituteFontEventHandler to set alternate font if the font not installed in the environment. 

We suggest you to use the below modified code snippet in your application to set alternate font when a specified font is not installed in the production environment.  

wordDocument.FontSettings.SubstituteFont += (sender, eventArgs) =>  

{  

    // Sets the alternate font when a specified font is not installed in the production environment.   

    if (eventArgs.OriginalFontName == "Arial")  

    {  

        FileStream template = new FileStream(@"Arial.ttf", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.ReadWrite);  

        eventArgs.AlternateFontStream = template;  

    }  

    else if (eventArgs.OriginalFontName == "Calibri")  

    {  

        FileStream template = new FileStream(@"Calibri.ttf", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.ReadWrite);  

        eventArgs.AlternateFontStream = template;  

    }  

    else if(eventArgs.OriginalFontName == "Arial Unicode MS")  

    {  

        FileStream template = new FileStream(@"ARIALUNI.TTF", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.ReadWrite);  

        eventArgs.AlternateFontStream = template;  

    }  

};  

If you are still facing the preservation problem, could you please provide us the generated PDF document and the fonts (font files *.ttf) used at your end. This will be more be more helpful to analyze on the reported problem and will provide you the solution at the earliest.

Hi Karthikeyan,

In my previous post, I have attached the full test solution which you can run on your side and get the output i have attached 'PublishOutput_f937e896.rar'

I have tested the proposed solution and does not resolve the issue. Please try running the solution in linux docker.

Thanks again
