We need additional information:

  1. Application code that corresponds to this Dockerfile. Without the application code, it won’t be possible to build and run the application.

  2. If you have already built a Docker image using this Dockerfile. Please share the docker image file. This will allow us to run the application in our environment.

  3. Please provide clear and detailed steps to reproduce the issue using the Docker image or configuration. This should include any specific commands or actions to take within the container.

Code corresponds to this Dockerfile.

using var stream = new MemoryStream();
try
{
using (var converter = new GroupDocs.Conversion.Converter(() => new MemoryStream(fileContent)))
{
var options = new PdfConvertOptions()
{
PageSize = PageSize.A4,
};
converter.Convert(() => stream, options);
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
_logger.LogError($“Can not convert to pdf {fileName} {ex.Message}”, ex);
}

        return stream.ToArray();

@Andranik

I apologize, but we would like to clarify whether you are encountering this problem (incorrect symbols) within our free web application?

Because we couldn’t reproduce it using the backend Conversion API.

It looks like you have updated the sample file. In this sample, the bullets are chars from Symbol font. Both Wingdings and Symbol fonts are not included in the ttf-mscorefonts fonts package installed in Docker image. That’s why they also need to be installed. Possible way to install them is adding following in the Docker file.

RUN apt-get install -y curl \
    && apt-get install -y fontconfig
RUN wget -q -O - https://gist.githubusercontent.com/Blastoise/d959d3196fb3937b36969013d96740e0/raw/429d8882b7c34e5dbd7b9cbc9d0079de5bd9e3aa/otherFonts.sh | bash
