Textbox text fill transparency not retained

[Jason Morse]

In an existing Word document, it contains a textbox with a text fill: solid fill with 66% transparency. If I simply open and save that document the transparency is lost.

Attached are screenshots and the sample document.

Hi Jason,

Thank you for contacting Syncfusion support.

We can reproduce the reported issue with “Text effects are not preserved properly while converting Word document to PDF” in our end. Currently Essential DocIO doesn’t have support for text effects in Word to PDF conversion. We have already logged this as a feature request in our database. We don’t have any immediate plans to implement this feature. We will update you once this feature has been implemented.

The status of this feature can be tracked through below feedback link:

Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Thank you form your reply. 

The issue is NOT related to PDF conversion.

 

Sinply open the sample DOCX document from the attchment and save it as a DOCX document. The text effects are lost.

The resulting Word document posted is what I am trying to achieve. 

I am using the latest weekly NuGet release (v18.2.0.47) in a .NET Core console application in Visual Studio 2019. 

I have attached a ZIP containing the source code, documents, and screenshots.

            var sourceDocumentPath = Path.Combine(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory!, "Document.docx");

            using(var document = new WordDocument())

            {

                using(var stream = File.OpenRead(sourceDocumentPath))

                {

                    document.Open(stream, FormatType.Docx);

                }

                var destinationDocumentPath = Path.Combine(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory!, "Document-Updated.docx");

                using(var stream = File.OpenWrite(destinationDocumentPath))

                {

                    document.Save(stream, FormatType.Docx);

                }
