Rotated Images when converting from Word to PDF

[Rick Stephens]

We are trying to convert a Word document to a PDF.  Some of the images inside of the document are landscape.  Inside of the word doc, they are rotated 270 degrees to be in portrait orientation.  After converting, the don't render correctly on the page.  They are off center.  If I manually save the image, rotate, and reinsert into the document, everything looks correct.  Unfortunately, doing this isn't a long term option, as the documents are provided to us by a 3rd party.  

I've attached some screenshots of the documents.

Syncfusion.DocIO.NET.Core: v17.3.0.34

Syncfusion.DocIORenderer.Net.Core: v17.3.0.34

using (var converter = new DocIORenderer())

{

converter.Settings.ChartRenderingOptions.ImageFormat = ExportImageFormat.Jpeg;

converter.Settings.EmbedFonts = true;

converter.Settings.PreserveFormFields = true;

var pdfDocument = converter.ConvertToPDF(wordDocument);

using (var outStream = new FileStream(outfile, FileMode.Create))

{

pdfDocument.Save(outStream);

outStream.Flush(true);

outStream.Close();

pdfDocument.Close(true);

}

}

Hi Rick,

Thank you for contacting Syncfusion support.

We have checked the reported issue by creating a simple word document with rotated image and converting it to PDF, but it is working fine in our end.
 
For more reference, please find the sample which we have tried in our end to reproduce the issue from the following link.
https://www.syncfusion.com/downloads/support/forum/149824/ze/Rotated_image1541738503.zip  

We suspect that the reported issue might be specific to the input Word document. So, could you please provide us the input Word document along with the complete code snippets which used at your end by modifying the above sample to reproduce the exact problem. Thereby we will analyze further and provide you the appropriate solution at the earliest. 

Note: If you have any confidential data in your Word document, please replace with some dummy data and provide us the same. We just need your document to recreate the problem you face in your end. 

 

Regards,

It looks like it's the text wrapping settings that causes the rendering issues.  Anything but "In Line with Text" has undesirable results.  Square results in my original issue where "Tight" results in the image in it's original orientation.  It looks like there are lots of bugs around orientations still.
