On GroupDocs.Conversion .NET v26.1, we noticed on some DOCX word documents, when they are converted to PDF, the rendered shape outline appears broken. We were able to reproduce this in Microsoft Word by creating a textbox or shape, and under the Shape Format > Shape Outline tools, setting the outline to one under Sketched.

Upon closer inspection, it looks as if the base shape is being rendered on top of the shape’s outline. We deduced this while looking at the same file under Dark Mode.

Here’s the source document that we used:

For consistency, we’d want to have the Shape Outline be rendered on top of the shape like it is in the word document instead of underneath it. Hope the information provided is helpful.
