Description

bug question

What happened?

When converting a Word document to PDF, the alignment and layout of the generated PDF do not match the original Word document. Some formatting appears to be incorrectly preserved during conversion.

The issue was observed using a personal document, so the original files cannot be shared publicly.

What did you expect?

The generated PDF should preserve the formatting, text alignment, spacing, margins, and overall layout of the original Word document.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open a Word document in Filee.
  2. Convert or export it to PDF.
  3. Compare the generated PDF with the original Word document.
  4. Observe the differences in alignment and layout.

Files involved

The original Word document and generated PDF contain personal information and cannot be attached publicly.

Environment

  • Filee version: 1.12.0
  • Windows version: Windows 11

Additional information

This issue appears to involve formatting or layout preservation during Word-to-PDF conversion. No personal files are attached for privacy reasons.
