Docx Arial converted to ArialMT

GemBox.Document
1

I have a DOCX file written in Arial.

Conversion to PDF transforms the font into ArialMT by slightly modifying the layout of the document, for example breaking the word that goes new line.

I still have to avoid these small changes, how can I do?

Hi Alverta,

Can you please send us your DOCX file so that we can reproduce your issue and investigate it?

Also, where exactly are you running the application that is converting your document, is it on Windows or Linux?
If it’s on Linux, what Arial fonts do you have installed?

Regards,
Mario

Hi Mario,

As you can see there are differents word wrap in the phrases.

We are converting it using Windows environment

Hi,

That “ArialMT” is the right font, note that you will get the same name if you export the Word to PDF with Microsoft Word as well.

Anyway, GemBox.Document does not use Microsoft Word to calculate positions and sizes of document elements on the page, therefore the results might not be identical since Microsoft Word’s layout/rendering engine is not standardized nor its code is open.

GemBox.Document, just like any other Word application, uses its own layout/rendering engine to paginate and render the document’s content. There can be differences in rendering between different Word applications. For example, here is a result of LibreOffice Writer:

libreoffice
libreoffice960×1040 68.2 KB

There can even be differences between different versions of the Microsoft Word application itself.

You can think of this the same as how a website can look different when it’s opened in different browsers or even in different versions of the same browser.

I hope this explains your situation.
Let me know if you need anything else.

Regards,
Mario

Hi Mario, thanks for reply. Now I better understand how it works.

Now I have another issue, this time with tables (I think…).
Please check the DOCX file: https://file.io/1yLKAanPndIZ
and the converted PDF: https://file.io/Z9DkqwLM8vWA

Is this the same problem?
Thank you
