WordToPDFConverter line breaks mid-word

[Joe Baker]

I have Word 365 documents that I need to read in and spit out pdf versions.  If I open one of the documents in Word and export it to PDF, it looks exactly as the Word document.  If I run it through the DocToPdfConverter, I have sections where a line break will occur mid-word.  The Word doc has various paragraphs, a few tables, a single image, and that is it.  No charts, nothing fancy.  Can anyone recommend where I should be looking for the source of the problem?

Hi Joe,

We have tried to reproduce the reported problem using the given details while converting Word document to PDF. But it works properly at our end. For your reference, we have attached the sample application which we used to reproduce the reported issue and it can be downloaded from the below attachment.

Please find the input Word document in the “Data” folder of the attached sample application.

We suspect that the reported problem might be due to the contents in the input Word document which used at your end. So, could you please share with us the input Word document along with a modified sample of above which reproduces the issue or code snippet. Also a screenshot of the issue.

This will be more helpful to reproduce the same issue at our end. Thereby, we will proceed further on the reported issue and provide you with the appropriate solution at the earliest.

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

Thank you so much for your reply, Anto.  Using your program along with my Word files, I was able to get a correct-looking PDF in the output.  In an effort to figure out where I went wrong, I created a second console app in the same solution you provided.  This second console application produces the results I experienced in my primary application.  Here are the steps I followed:

1. Created a console app, targeting .NET 6.0
   
2. Added the following NuGet packages
   1. Syncfusion.DocToPdfConverter.WinForms
   2. SyncFusion.OfficeChartToImageConverter.WinForms
   3. System.Drawing.Common
      
3. Copied the Data and Output directories from your project to the new one
4. Copied the contents of Program.cs from your project to the new one (making changes only to the path for the input/output files)
5. Built and ran the application

Here is a snippet of the content from the file from your application:

Here is the same snippet of the content from my application:

As you can see, the highlighted word "Deductions" does not break on the line as expected.  This occurs on page 16 of the PDF document (labeled as page 13).

We would prefer not to have to use an older version of .Net Framework, if at all possible.

Cheers!

Joe
